Scan any food or medicine label - camera, barcode, or pasted text - and get a verdict checked against YOUR allergies, conditions & meds, not a generic score. You get a 1-5 rating plus the exact ingredient responsible. What's different: - Weighs your full profile together, not one field at a time - Medicine mode flags drug interactions - A profile per family member + a printable emergency card - Multi-AI failover so no single provider blocks a scan
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built PlateGuard AI because grocery shopping with a real allergy or condition is genuinely stressful, generic "healthy/unhealthy" scores don't tell you what YOU actually need to know, and reading a full ingredients panel in tiny print in a busy aisle is exhausting.
The idea: set up a health profile once (allergies, conditions, medications, dietary needs), then just point your camera at a label, scan its barcode, or paste the ingredients. You get a 1-5 safety rating in seconds, with the exact ingredient responsible and a plain-English explanation, not just a red or green light.
A few things I'm proud of:
- It reasons about interacting conditions together instead of checking boxes in isolation
- Medicine mode checks OTC/prescription labels against your conditions and other medications
- Multiple people can have their own profile (built this for my own family)
- If one AI provider is rate-limited, it automatically fails over to another instead of just failing
Would love your feedback, especially on where the ratings feel off or overly cautious, the feedback form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/...
that's the part I'm iterating on most right now.

Really a helpful tool. Added to my list of new products! No longer need to stand in the mall going through all the ingredients (half of the names in the list are so non transparent to make u feel safe and just buy them😂)

This is totally something i would use, can my brain half of the times skips the part that we need to understand the labels too (thank you for makinggg)
