Resources for journalists and media covering food safety, consumer health apps, and ingredient transparency. Press kit, stats, and contact below.

The Mission

FoodPeel is a mobile application that allows anyone to scan a grocery product barcode and instantly receive a plain-English safety rating for every ingredient in that product. The goal is radical ingredient transparency: giving consumers access to the same information that food scientists have, presented in a way that doesn't require a chemistry degree to understand.

The app uses a red/yellow/green rating system โ€” green for safe ingredients, yellow for ingredients that warrant awareness, red for ingredients with significant research concerns or that are banned in other countries. Each rating links to plain-English explanations and, where relevant, to better product alternatives.

FoodPeel is pre-launch, currently accepting early access signups for its iOS and Android app. The company was founded in 2026 with the conviction that the information asymmetry between food manufacturers and consumers is a public health problem โ€” and that technology is the most scalable solution.

Boilerplate (for use in press)

FoodPeel is a mobile app that brings instant ingredient transparency to grocery shopping. Using barcode scanning and an AI-powered ingredient database, FoodPeel gives consumers a plain-English safety rating for every ingredient in any packaged food product. FoodPeel is pre-launch and accepting early access signups at foodpeel.com. Available soon on iOS and Android.
