Ingredient Allergen Checker
Paste a food ingredient list and screen it for common allergen terms in seconds. The checker highlights matches for milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, sesame, gluten-risk grains, and other label terms shoppers often miss.
Common hidden allergen terms
Food labels often use ingredient names that are easy to miss, such as casein for milk, albumin for egg, malt for barley, tamari for soy, tahini for sesame, or surimi for fish. This checker looks for those terms, but package labels and manufacturer warnings remain the source of truth for allergy decisions.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check ingredients for allergens?
Paste the ingredient list from the package into the checker. It scans for common allergen names and hidden label terms, then groups the matches by allergen category.
Which allergens does this checker look for?
It screens for milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, gluten-risk grains, soy, fish, shellfish, sesame, mustard, celery, lupin, sulfites, and mollusks.
Can this replace reading the food label?
No. Use it as a quick screening tool only. Always read the physical label, allergen statement, and manufacturer warnings for critical allergies.
Does the checker store my ingredient list?
No. The scan runs in your browser. The ingredient text is not uploaded or stored.
Can I scan a barcode instead?
Use the Ryla iPhone app for barcode scanning and product-specific allergen checks.
