Before and after comparison of grocery shopping with SmrtFood

Every trip to the store means checking every label, every ingredient, every warning. Scanning for allergens written under scientific names you've never heard of. The anxiety of wondering if you missed something.

Whether you're managing your own food allergies or shopping for family members with dietary restrictions, that constant vigilance is exhausting.

You deserve better. That's why we built SmrtFood.

Built from lived experience

In 2009, I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and discovered I was allergic to dozens of foods—seemingly overnight. I went from not being allergic to anything to being allergic to everything.

Suddenly, every grocery trip meant reading the back of every single product, trying to catch allergens that were often hidden under unfamiliar scientific names. The stress and anxiety of wondering if I'd missed something was overwhelming.

I built SmrtFood because I remember that feeling. Whether you're managing your own allergies, shopping for your kids, or caring for loved ones—you shouldn't have to decode ingredient labels like a chemistry exam. You deserve to shop with confidence.

We're planning to launch soon. Join our waitlist to be among the first to know when we're live and get early access.
We use verified product databases and scan actual ingredient labels. However, SmrtFood is a tool to assist your decision-making, not replace medical advice. Always verify with manufacturers for severe allergies.
We support all major allergens including peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish, and sesame. We also track common intolerances like gluten and lactose.
Absolutely. We take privacy seriously. Your allergy profiles are encrypted and stored securely. We never sell personal data to third parties.
We'll offer a free tier with core scanning functionality. Premium features like unlimited family profiles, offline mode, and detailed ingredient analysis will be available with a subscription.
You can manually check ingredients or request we add the product. Our database grows daily with user contributions and manufacturer partnerships.
SmrtFood catches hidden allergens listed under scientific names (like casein for milk, sodium caseinate for dairy, or albumin for eggs), cross-contamination warnings in fine print, and 'may contain' statements you might miss when shopping in a hurry. As someone who manages multiple food allergies myself, I built this to be the tool I wished existed when I was first diagnosed.
SmrtFood works with products from any US grocery store. Our database covers major retailers including Walmart, Target, Kroger, Safeway, Whole Foods, and more.
