SafeShelf

What it does

SafeShelf is an ingredient checker for food, cosmetics, supplements, and household chemicals. You photograph a product label and it returns a 0 to 100 safety score built from public FDA and EFSA data. Guests get 2 scans per day and a free account gets 5. Pro rebuilds each scan against your medications, pregnancy status, allergies, and diet.

SafeShelf is useful when you want a quick read on a label without digging through additive lists yourself. You upload a photo and the site says analysis takes up to 20 seconds, then returns a score plus flags for additives, allergens, and risky chemicals. The free tier is enough to try it: guests get 2 scans per day and a free account raises that to 5 and keeps history. The personalised checks that matter most, such as drug interaction warnings and pregnancy context, sit behind Pro at $59.99 per year. A careful user should note that general scans are public by default and may appear in the community gallery, and that the site calls itself an educational tool, not medical advice. Confirm anything important with a clinician.
