SatvikScan
The ingredient list isn't
the whole story
SatvikScan reads the fine print too — "may contain traces of..." and "processed in a facility that also handles..." — and flags it before you take a bite. Add Strict Mode for Sattvic/Rajasic/Tamasic scrutiny, plus Vegan, Vegetarian & Jain compatibility, NOVA processing level, and health grades A‑E.
Requires the free TestFlight app from the App Store · iOS 15+
"May contain traces of..." isn't a footnote. It's the whole point.
Most food scanners stop at the ingredient list. The real risk is often buried underneath it — in allergen disclosures and shared-facility warnings that get skimmed past. Strict Mode reads that part for you.
"May contain" & traces
Catches disclosures like "may contain traces of egg, milk, or nuts" wherever they appear on the label — not just in the main ingredient list.
Shared-facility warnings
Flags "processed in a facility that also handles..." and "manufactured on shared equipment with..." — the disclosures most apps skip entirely.
Strict Mode scrutiny
Goes beyond vegan/vegetarian tags to classify every product as Sattvic, Rajasic, or Tamasic — for stricter dietary discipline.
