Product lookup

360,000+ packaged foods have already been read into CiCi. Every barcode CiCi can resolve has a page. Enter one below, or scan it. The answer is the same either way, and you get the reasoning rather than just a colour.

That figure counts foods with a real ingredient statement on file, not barcodes we have seen. A barcode that isn't among them is looked up live, and a product no database has heard of can still be answered by photographing the panel. The number tells you how often the answer is instant.

Why these pages say “can't verify” so often

Because it is usually the truthful answer. A US label guarantees that wheat will be declared. It guarantees nothing of the kind for barley or rye, which may sit inside “natural flavor” unnamed. On a package with no gluten-free claim, that gap cannot be closed from the label. Other scanners resolve it with a green checkmark. CiCi tells you the gap exists and lets you decide.

What a lookup can and cannot tell you

Scan instead of typing

CiCi reads barcodes on-device, so the image never leaves your phone.

The scanner

Reading a page is fine. Standing in the aisle is the hard part.

This site answers the question you knew to ask. The app answers the one you didn't: the barley malt in a rice cereal, the wheat starch in a gummy. Scan the barcode, or photograph the panel when the barcode isn't in any database, and CiCi shows which words on the label produced the answer.

  • 360,000+ packaged foods already read. Ingredient statement, allergen declaration and nutrition panel, each one assessed by the same rules you can see working on this page, so most scans are an instant answer rather than a lookup.
  • Unlimited scanning, about two seconds an answer. Fig and Spoonful both cut you off at five scans a month.
  • Carbs and the full nutrition panel on every scan. Total and net carbohydrate with the arithmetic shown. For the roughly 6% of people with type 1 diabetes who have coeliac disease too, that is two apps collapsed into one.
  • Your glutening log. Record a reaction and CiCi shows what those days had in common. It counts overlaps and never tells you what caused it.
  • Saved products. The regular shop in one place, so next week is not a re-scan of the same forty items.
  • Scanning happens on your device. No scan is ever attached to you, sold, or sent to an analytics service.

14 days free, then $29.99 a year. Cheaper than Fig, and it does what three separate apps do. This website stays free forever either way: every answer on it, permanently, with no account.
