How Detection Works
Grocery Savvy looks at the ingredient information available for a product and checks it for the major allergens the app currently supports.
If a supported allergen is found, it appears in the allergen section. If ingredient information is missing or not complete enough, Grocery Savvy may show that allergen information is unavailable instead.
In-App Statuses
What the allergen section in the app is actually telling you.
No Known Allergens
Ingredient data was available, and none of the supported major allergens were found.
Allergen Information Unavailable
The food item does not include complete ingredient data, so Grocery Savvy cannot make a reliable allergen call.
Common Questions
A few important questions about allergen information.
These answers explain how Grocery Savvy approaches allergen data, where the limits are, and what to do if you spot a product that looks incorrect.
Use Grocery Savvy as a helpful guide, not as your final safety check. The app can help surface supported allergens when ingredient information is available, but the package in your hand should always be your final source of truth.
Grocery Savvy checks the ingredient information available for a food item. If that ingredient information is incomplete or missing, the app may not be able to give a reliable allergen result.
Please report it to us. If you find a product with incorrect or incomplete allergen information, contact support and include the product name, barcode if available, and a photo or screenshot of the packaging so we can review it.

Yes, but carefully. Grocery Savvy can still help you review ingredient information and spot supported allergens, but if your allergen is not currently covered you should rely on packaging and your own safety process first.
