GlutenTrace wants to show its work
A planned gluten-scanning app that reads barcodes or ingredient labels and distinguishes gluten, possible traces, and regulated gluten-free claims.
Field notes
GlutenTrace describes a two-part workflow: barcode lookup through Open Food Facts, or on-device reading of a photographed ingredient label when no database entry exists. Its proposed verdict distinguishes gluten-containing products, possible trace warnings, and regulated gluten-free claims, while marking the ingredient behind the decision. The page also says the app will warn when database information is stale and support ten languages, with the free tier retaining unlimited scans.
