For allergies, intolerances & sensitivities
Calorie apps ignore what you can't eat. Allergy apps ignore your macros. SafeFuel does both — and never makes up a number.

How it works
Photo, barcode, nutrition label, or just tell Siri. The AI identifies the food; the USDA database supplies the numbers.
Every meal, product and recipe checked against your own trigger list — with a severity for each, from "upsets my stomach" to anaphylaxis.
A week of meals that fit your macros and avoid your triggers. The grocery list writes itself. Cook mode has timers you can name.
Log good days as well as reactions. When an ingredient keeps showing up before a symptom, SafeFuel surfaces it — and exports a clean history for your doctor.
Why it's different
Most AI calorie apps ask a language model to guess the calories in a photo. That's fine for a rough estimate — and useless if you actually need the numbers to be right.
SafeFuel uses AI for exactly one thing: recognising what's on the plate and how much. Every calorie and gram of protein, carbs and fat then comes from USDA FoodData Central, the same database dietitians use. If something important is missing, it asks you instead of making it up.
Pricing
Trigger checks and manual logging are always free — safety shouldn't be behind a paywall. Premium unlocks unlimited AI meal analysis, week planning and recipe generation.

Questions
Yes. Allergies, intolerances and sensitivities are all "triggers" in SafeFuel, each with its own severity. Lactose, gluten, FODMAPs, histamine, nightshades, sulfites and anything you add yourself are all treated the same way as a peanut allergy — checked on every meal.
No, and nothing can. SafeFuel is deliberately cautious — it would rather flag something than miss it — but product recipes change and databases lag behind. Always read the physical label, and carry your epinephrine if you've been prescribed it.
USDA FoodData Central. The AI only identifies the food and portion; it never generates a calorie or macro figure itself. You can tap any ingredient to correct the portion and the numbers recalculate from the database.
Optionally. SafeFuel can read your workouts and active energy to raise your targets on training days, and write logged calories back so everything stays in sync. Declining permission doesn't block any feature.
