About FoodieFilter
Shopping with allergies shouldn’t mean reading every label.
Hello, I’m Adam, the person behind FoodieFilter. Food allergies have shaped my family’s life for years. Every shop has meant picking things up, reading labels, double-checking and worrying. I’ve seen first-hand how stressful, and sometimes frightening, it can be.
Why “free from” wasn’t enough
Like a lot of families in our position, we always headed straight for the “free from” section. It felt like the one safe place to start. But it’s only a small part of the shop.
All around it are hundreds of ordinary products (biscuits, sauces, snacks, ready meals) and plenty of them don’t contain what we need to avoid. The trouble was finding them. It meant picking up item after item and reading every label, and nobody wants to do that on a normal shop.
So I built FoodieFilter
You tell it what you need to avoid, and it hides everything that contains it. It checks the allergen tags and the full ingredient list, so you can see what’s left without surfing through every product.
If a product has missing information, it is never shown as safe. When I’ve checked a product’s record against the real pack, it gets a Verified sticker with the date I checked it, and you can ask me to verify any product you rely on.
What it isn’t
FoodieFilter is a starting point, not a guarantee. The information comes from open, community-contributed sources, and recipes change without warning, so please always read the label on the pack before you buy or eat anything.
It is not medical advice.
