AI-driven product suitability and shopping assistant for safer, smarter food choices.
Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to transform how people interact with food labels,
making them clear, personalized, and trustworthy.
Food Scan Genius is a consumer-first technology company built around a simple but powerful belief: food choices should be clear, safe, and personal. In a world where food allergies, sensitivities, and dietary preferences are on the rise, the act of buying groceries can feel like navigating a minefield. Labels are written in fine print, ingredient lists are inconsistent across markets, and many consumers are left second-guessing their decisions.
Our solution is to bring transparency, clarity, and intelligence into everyday food decisions.
Today, over 220–250 million people worldwide suffer from food allergies, and more than half the global population has some dietary preference or restriction — ranging from religious diets like Halal or Kosher, to lifestyle choices like Vegan and Keto, to sensitivities like gluten or lactose. Despite this, the global food system is still designed for “one-size-fits-all” consumption. Food labeling laws vary from country to country, and even where regulation exists, the information is often hard to interpret. For example:
This complexity creates three major problems:
(1) risk for consumers who might accidentally consume something unsafe,
(2) stress for families managing complex dietary needs, and
(3) lost trust for brands who fail to clearly communicate product suitability.
Our primary users are health-conscious consumers, parents managing food sensitivities in children, young professionals with lifestyle diets, and individuals with religious or ethical dietary frameworks. While the problem is universal, we focus initially on the following segments:
Beyond consumers, we also provide value to brands and retailers, who can partner with us to communicate transparency and build consumer trust in their products.
The free-from food market — covering gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and more — is valued at over $100 billion globally and is projected to grow at over 8% CAGR. Meanwhile, personalized nutrition is one of the fastest-growing consumer trends. AI-driven food and health apps are at the frontier of consumer innovation, with over 500 million downloads annually across health and wellness apps.
Food Scan Genius operates at the intersection of these two megatrends: the personalization of food and the application of AI to consumer decision-making.
