Filter food search by diet and allergens

When searching, show only foods that match your diet or are free of certain allergens.

When you search for food by name, you can narrow the results with dietary and allergen labels. That way you only see products that meet your needs, without having to set up a permanent diet profile.

How it works

1. Open the search screen (tap "Add food" or the search icon from the camera or a meal).
2. At the top you'll see a horizontal bar of labels. Tap "All" to clear filters, or tap one or more labels (for example "Vegan", "Gluten-free" or "High protein") to turn them on.
3. Type the name of your food. Results are now limited to products that match the active labels.
4. Tap an active label again to turn that filter off, or tap "All" to reset every filter at once.

Good to know

• There are 22 labels in three groups: 5 diets (Vegan, Vegetarian, Pescatarian, Keto-friendly, Low sodium), 12 "free-from" allergen labels (Gluten-free, Dairy-free, Egg-free, Peanut-free, Tree-nut-free, Soy-free, Fish-free, Shellfish-free, Celery-free, Mustard-free, Sesame-free, Lupine-free), and 5 lifestyle labels (High fiber, High protein, Low carb, Low fat, Alcohol-free).
• You can turn on several filters at once. They combine: a product must match all active labels.
• Your selected filters are remembered between sessions (saved on your device).
• Filters are a search-time tool, not a permanent profile setting. They affect search results, not the photo recognition flow.
• Tap "All" to clear all active filters in one tap.
• Your filters are reset when you sign out.

Common questions

My search shows no results. You probably have too many filters active at once. Tap "All" to clear them and try again.

A food I expected is missing. That product may not carry a dietary or allergen tag in the database. Try fewer filters.

Do filters change my photo-scan results? No. Filters only apply to search-by-name, not to photo recognition.

Where do I set my permanent diet? There is no global diet setting. You choose labels per search session; they're saved on your device.
