Description
Make healthier food choices with GlutenSwitch. Simply scan a barcode to see a product's gluten status, nutrition information and gluten-free healthier alternatives.
GlutenSwitch uses science-based algorithms developed by The George Institute for Global Health - an internationally respected medical research institute.
Whether you're avoiding gluten because you have Coeliac disease or you are gluten intolerant, GlutenSwitch will help you identify the gluten status of a product and give you gluten-free healthier alternatives when grocery shopping.
MAKING GLUTEN_FREE HEALTHIER FOOD CHOICES IS FAST AND EASY • Barcode Scanner --- Simply scan barcodes to view the gluten status and nutrition information of packaged food products. • Healthy Food Choices --- See gluten-free healthier choices based on what you scan. • Health Star Rating mode --- View the healthiness of your scanned product based on Health Star Ratings. The higher the star rating, the healthier the food is. • Traffic Light Labels mode --- View key components of a food based on colour coded ratings. Red is high, Green is low and Amber is medium.
MORE FEATURES • View the information of a recently scanned product and their gluten-free healthier alternatives. • 'Help us out' by capturing photos of items not currently in our product database.
UPDATES TO THE HEALTH STAR RATING SYSTEM The Government has implemented an update to the Health Star Rating (HSR) system as a result of their five year review. This update has been applied to the GlutenSwitch App. A two year transition period for the implementation of the updates for manufacturers will apply, with all changes to be fully implemented by 14 November 2022. During this time you may notice discrepancies between the HSR on pack and the HSR displayed in the GlutenSwitch App. This should resolve itself as manufacturers start to update their packaging.

It's criminal how they went from a 100% free service for people who suffer from celiac disease amongst other conditions to only 5 free items a month and then having pay for any extra. Lost all integrity in my opinion.
★☆☆☆☆Jeff Savage· Nov 22, 2024
Charge $24 per month now you have split off the gluten-free part of food switch. This app was built on people like myself using it and adding items and photos and keeping its owners updated with changes, and now you want to slug us $24 per year to use an app that the consumers considerably contributed to. A one of free of that maybe but not worth it to charge $2 per month / $24 per year. You've lost me.

Use to be free until split from food switch, rather read the labels
