How the scan works
Take a photo of the ingredient panel or upload one. The tool reads the label with in-browser text recognition and screens it for gluten instantly. Because label photos can blur or curve, you can open View scanned text in the result to correct any misread words and re-check.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I check if ingredients are gluten-free?
Snap a photo of the ingredient panel or paste the list into the checker. It reads the label, looks for gluten-containing grains, hidden gluten terms, and cross-contact warnings, then tells you whether it is likely gluten-free or needs a closer look.
Can I take a photo of a food label to check for gluten?
Yes. Tap Scan or upload a label to use your phone camera or pick an image. The photo is read in your browser using built-in text recognition and is never uploaded, then the scanned text is screened for gluten. Fix any misread words before checking.
Which ingredients contain gluten?
Wheat, barley, rye, triticale, spelt, durum, semolina, farro, kamut, malt, and brewer's yeast are common gluten-risk terms on labels.
Are oats gluten-free?
Oats do not naturally contain gluten, but they are often cross-contaminated with wheat, barley, or rye. People with celiac disease usually look for certified gluten-free oats.
Can this replace a certified gluten-free label?
No. Use it as a screening tool only. For celiac disease or serious sensitivity, verify the package label, allergen statement, certification, and manufacturer guidance.
Does this checker store my ingredients?
No. The checker runs in your browser and does not upload or store the ingredient text.
