Rootd is a barcode food scanner that scores every product against your rules: allergies, religious restrictions, ingredients you avoid, and the health goals you actually have.
launching on the App Store September 4, 2026 🥕
Most scanner apps give everyone the same number. But nobody is average, and your dealbreakers aren't someone else's.
Allergens, halal or kosher, vegan, ingredients you personally avoid, health goals, medical conditions. Rootd learns what matters to you.
Every product is scored against your profile, not a generic average. Two people scanning the same granola bar see different numbers, because they need different things.
Tap into any score to see exactly which ingredients moved it and why, with sources you can check. No black boxes, no fear-mongering.
Short lessons on ingredients, additives, and label tricks, all cited to real research. Our actual goal is that you need the app less over time.
If a product breaks one of your rules — an allergen, a religious restriction, an ingredient you've said no to — it doesn't get a polite warning. It scores a zero, with the reason written out.
The honest answers, same as in the app.
Apps like Yuka score every product the same way for every person. Rootd scores against your personal profile (allergies, religious restrictions, avoided ingredients, goals) so the score means "is this right for me," not "is this right for the average person."
Yes, that's the core of it. Products that conflict with your dietary or religious rules are hard-blocked with a zero score and a written reason, including ingredients that hide under unfamiliar names.
There's a free tier. Premium unlocks the full Learn section and recipes, and anyone who joins the beta before launch keeps premium free for life.
Product data comes from Open Food Facts, the world's largest open food database, and the scoring logic and educational content cite public sources: FDA, peer-reviewed research, and public health agencies.
