SafeShelf

SafeShelf is an ingredient checker that helps you evaluate products using an educational, AI-assisted safety scoring approach. You can photograph a product label and get a 0–100 score based on public safety data from regulators such as the FDA and EFSA, with results focused on potential ingredient risks rather than medical diagnosis.

It supports scans across food, cosmetics, pregnancy-related considerations, supplements, and even household pet products. Depending on the mode, you may see flags related to additives and E-numbers, cosmetic concerns, pregnancy-sensitive ingredients, supplement-to-medication interaction risks, and allergen context. SafeShelf also explains how the score is built and provides guidance for interpreting safety findings.

SafeShelf is designed for everyday shoppers who want to better understand ingredient safety and regulatory differences before making decisions about what to buy or use. It’s especially useful if you’re pregnant, managing allergies, taking prescription medications, or following dietary needs where certain ingredients may not fit.

Free accounts are available. Guests receive 2 scans/day, while a free account increases that to 5 scans/day and keeps scan history. Pro is $59.99/year and rebuilds each scan against your medications, pregnancy status, allergies, and diet for a more personalized safety score. Scans are educational only and are not medical advice—avoid changing medications or diets based solely on results.

How does SafeShelf work?

Upload a photo of a product label to generate an educational safety score (0–100) from public safety data. Analysis typically takes up to 20 seconds, and results are meant for informational purposes.

Is SafeShelf medical advice?

No. SafeShelf provides educational information only and does not replace advice from a doctor, pharmacist, or dietitian. Don’t start, stop, or change medications or diets based only on the report.

What do I get with a free account versus Pro?

A free account increases scans to 5/day and preserves scan history, but uses a generic safety score. Pro ($59.99/year) rebuilds each scan using your medication, pregnancy status, allergies, and diet context.

Are scans private?

General scans are public by default and may appear in the community gallery. Avoid uploading images with personal or identifiable information; you can register free for personalized scanning.

Which product types can SafeShelf analyze?

You can scan food ingredients, cosmetic ingredients, pregnancy-relevant ingredients, supplements, and pet products (for household product toxicity considerations).

Will SafeShelf check medication interactions?

Medication interaction checks are available with Pro. The free version focuses on a generic safety score without medication-specific context.
