Peel The App

I found this app about a year ago via /r/sugarfree on Reddit. Besides trying to avoid sugar, it has helped me identify harmful products that will send me straight to the can. As I further explore how to improve my nutrition and learn about harmful ingredients such as soy lecithin, maltodextrin, etc, this app’s filtering makes it easier to spot and the possible side effects that that ingredient will possibly do to me. For instance, when I scan a product and have no idea what ‘sucralose’ is, the app will tell me to ‘avoid’ and state what category it is- such as artificial sweetener / high lectin. I wish this app added the option where you could build your own personalized bank or list of ingredients you selectively wish to avoid as I do not know how extensive each category for the diets available on the app are. I would like to know what is included in each one as I discover more scientific papers and research studies about harmful chemicals companies create. I am diving further into what will contribute to “brain fog” on top of spikes in energy levels, emotional stressors, and other responses to food your body makes. It is too unrealistic to completely cut out everything in our modern diets and eat strictly untouched and untampered with vegetables 24/7 so a personalized avoidance bank would certainly help when you want to make exceptions in an inconvenient world. On that note, this app is astounding and helpful. There is a lot of potential and I look forward to it’s growth. I highly recommend for anyone trying to become more conscious about their health, what they consume, or for anyone who has to adhere to a strict diet due to disease / other limitations. This app’s design has a straightforward interface and is a great staple as part of your go-to apps.

I have been allergic to dairy for 25 years and this app is changing my life. It takes the guess work out of eating prepared foods. I have found it to be super accurate and I have been using it for over 2 months now. I recommend this app to any customer at work that mentions dietary restrictions. As someone who had to do all the leg work myself; reading labels and researching ingredients to know what was safe for me to eat. The creators of this app have done all that and put it in one place that is accessible to everyone. They are amazing quick to respond to questions and requests. I sincerely thank them for creating an app this amazing.

I’ve been trying it out for a day and have no complaints. This will help my grocery shopping, for sure. Intuitive, simple, and informative.

Took it out shopping and found it flagged vegan products as unsafe if you simply selected the all dairy. It was because of the “natural flavour” ingredient. However when you specify casein and lactose it worked really well! Definitely helpful and using it now to help my daughter understand her restrictions. Thank you!

So far I’ve just played around with the app at home but I really love this concept! I can’t have dairy or gluten and sometimes stuff isn’t clearly labelled so having this app will be so helpful! Thank you for creating this

I chose vegan and tested the app on tons of different products. It worked well for dairy and gelatine. However eggs, clams and every type of meat I tested came up as ok to eat.

Might the worth expanding the ingredient list to include things you obviously can’t eat. For fun I scanned some bathroom items and most of them say Safe to Eat, except hair gel because it had palm oil.

Trying to cancel subscription and the app won’t let me, very shady

Interface is flawless, fast and makes it dead simple to lookup, track and follow any diet. Gone are the days where you could find an excuse to cheat and not follow a diet goal, but Peel App makes it soooo easy to get ingredient information when you need it and in lightening fast speed. Fantastic work team!

This is the most breakthrough idea for people with food allergies. I’ve needed this. I spend half my time squinting at tiny print labels in the store. Wonderful resource. Tell anyone you know with food sensitivities or allergies.
