Built for the “wait, can I?” moment

Standing at a deli counter or reading a menu, the answer to “can I eat this?” depends on many things at once: how it’s cooked, whether it’s pasteurised, what else is in the sauce, and everything else going on with your health.

Existing apps answer one question at a time, often behind a paywall, often without saying where the advice came from. We wanted one calm, honest answer for the whole situation, with the source and the fix, for everyone at the table.
