About Gluten Free Scanner
Scan any barcode to find out if the product is gluten free - get a result in seconds. If the product contains gluten, the result tells you why.
Built for people with coeliac disease and gluten intolerance, whether you're shopping for yourself or for someone else.
- INSTANT: point the camera at a barcode and get your answer before you put the box down
- MILLIONS OF PRODUCTS: more added every day
- FREE TO DOWNLOAD AND SCAN: no account needed, no sign-up and no limits
- SIX LANGUAGES: English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish
- WORKS OFFLINE: the whole database, downloaded to your phone
- SCAN HISTORY: everything you scan, saved for next time
IT NAMES THE INGREDIENT
A red light is only half an answer. When a product contains gluten, the result also names the ingredient responsible, wherever the database has that detail, so you start spotting the usual suspects on labels yourself.
JUST DIAGNOSED?
The first weeks of a gluten free diet are a crash course. What has gluten in it? Is soy sauce gluten free? Which beer can you still drink? The app answers those questions while you find your feet, so the supermarket stops feeling like an exam.
MISSING PRODUCT? GET AN ANSWER ANYWAY
Sooner or later you'll scan something the app hasn't seen before. Photograph the barcode, the name, and the ingredients list, and in most cases you'll have a verdict while you're still in the aisle. If it needs a human eye, we review it, and your addition is there for the next person who picks up that product.
"I just got diagnosed with celiac disease and I had no clue what was gluten-free and what contains gluten. I am loving this app so far." — App Store review
OFFLINE MODE (PREMIUM)
Supermarket dead spots, basement aisles, flights. Download the database once over Wi-Fi and scanning carries on with no signal at all; it refreshes itself the next time you open the app online. It packs well, too: scan your way round a supermarket abroad with mobile data switched off.
SCAN HISTORY (PREMIUM)
Everything you scan is saved, so you look a product up once and the answer is waiting next week. No more trying to remember which brand it was that passed.
SHARE WHAT YOU FIND
Scanning for a child, a partner, or a friend? Share a product's result in one tap, so everyone doing the shopping sees the same answer.
FOR EVERY GLUTEN FREE SHOPPER
Coeliac disease, non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, a gluten intolerance, or a coeliac friend coming to dinner: the question in the aisle is the same. Is it gluten free? Scan snacks, cereals, bread, pasta, sauces, chocolate, and drinks on the weekly shop, and get a straight answer on each one.
A NOTE ON GLUTEN
Gluten comes from wheat, barley, rye, spelt, and triticale. On a label it hides behind names like barley malt, malt extract, wheat starch, and hydrolysed wheat protein, and it turns up where you least expect it: soy sauce, stock cubes, soups, sweets, and beer. The app reads the ingredients recorded for a product and flags the ones

About Gluten Free Scanner
Gluten Free Scanner is a food barcode scanner that tells you in seconds whether a food is gluten free. When it isn't, the result tells you why.
Built for people with coeliac disease (celiac disease in the US) and gluten intolerance, whether you're shopping for yourself or for someone else.
- Instant: point the barcode scanner at any product and get your answer before you put the box down
- Millions of products: more added every day
- Free to download and scan: no account, no sign-up, unlimited scans
- Six languages: English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish
- Works offline: our verdict database, downloaded to your phone
- Scan history: every result you scan, saved for next time
It names the ingredient
A red light is only half an answer. When a product contains gluten, this ingredient checker names the one responsible, wherever the database has that detail, so you start spotting the usual suspects on labels yourself.
Just diagnosed?
The first weeks of a gluten free diet are a crash course. What has gluten in it? Is soy sauce gluten free? Which beer can you still drink? The app answers those questions while you find your feet, so the grocery shop stops feeling like an exam.
Missing product? Get an answer anyway
Sooner or later you'll scan something the app hasn't seen before. Photograph the barcode, the name, and the ingredients list, and often you'll have a verdict while you're still in the aisle. If it needs a human eye, we review it, and your addition is there for the next person who picks up that product.
Offline mode (Premium)
Supermarket dead spots, basement aisles, flights. Download the database once over Wi-Fi and the food scanner carries on with no signal at all; it refreshes itself the next time you open the app online. It packs well, too: scan your way round a supermarket abroad with mobile data switched off.
Scan history (Premium)
Every result is saved, so you look a product up once and the answer is waiting next week. No more trying to remember which brand it was that passed.
Share what you find
Scanning for a child, a partner, or a friend? Share a product's result in one tap, so everyone doing the shopping sees the same answer.
For every gluten free shopper
Coeliac disease, non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, a gluten intolerance, or a coeliac friend coming to dinner: the question in the aisle is the same. Is it gluten free? Scan snacks, cereals, bread, pasta, sauces, chocolate, and drinks on the weekly grocery shop, and get a straight answer on each one.
A note on gluten
Gluten comes from wheat, barley, rye, spelt, and triticale. On a label it hides behind names like barley malt, malt extract, wheat starch, and hydrolysed wheat protein, and it turns up where you least expect it: soy sauce, stock cubes, soups, sweets, and beer. The app reads the ingredients and warnings recorded for a product and flags the ones that mean gluten, including "may contain" and shared-facility warnings where they're recorded, so you'r
