SugarShield

See beyond the label.

Added sugars often hide behind names you don't recognize.
SugarShield helps you spot them instantly.

The problem

Food labels hide sugar under dozens of ingredient names, making it hard to know what you're actually buying.

Turns label confusion into a clear decision in three seconds at the shelf.

Scan food. Instantly know if it's safe for your sugar levels.

Who this is for

  • Parents buying snacks for their kids
  • People managing pre-diabetes
  • Fitness-focused shoppers tracking sugar intake

Our product decision

We designed SugarShield to be conservative on false negatives because, for these users, missing hidden sugar is riskier than over-flagging it. The product is intentionally designed to minimize false negatives.

Example: A product listed "corn syrup solids" instead of sugar. A keyword-based system would miss it. SugarShield flags this as hidden sugar risk.

How it works

  1. Scan or input a product
  2. Analyze ingredients and nutrition data
  3. Get a clear Safe / Caution / Avoid decision
