Original AisleSwap sample for the demo and offline swap ranking. Not a store listing and not an Open Food Facts record.

Scan

Read a barcode first. If Open Food Facts has no ingredient list, paste the panel from the package in your hand.

Match

Your avoid list is applied to the printed words, including nested sub-ingredients and the 2% tail. Missing text stays unknown.

Swap

Suggestions stay in the same grocery aisle and have to pass the same filters. A different aisle is not offered as a substitute.

Paste a label. Toggle the avoid list.

What a match will not do

It will not clear an allergy, an intolerance, or a medical diet.
It will not turn a dye or an oil into a toxicity score.
It will not borrow another brand's ingredient list when yours is missing.
It will not treat honey or maple syrup as refined sugar in this version.

Ingredient notes

All ingredients

Seed oils

On chips, crackers, dressings, and boxed dinners the oil is often a parenthesis: vegetable oil (canola, sunflower, and/or soybean). Match each named oil. If the label stops at vegetable oil, treat that phrase as its own preference hit because the source seed is unnamed.

Artificial dyes

Dyes hide in 'color added', cheese powders, kids' yogurts, and fruit drinks. Match the specific name or number that is printed. Do not infer a dye from a colorful photo.

Added refined sugars

A sweet taste is not the same thing as an added sugar on the ingredient list. Honey and maple syrup are not in this V1 list. 'Sugar-free' and 'no added sugar' are negations, not hits.

Gums & emulsifiers

These often sit after 'contains 2% or less of'. They still count. Sunflower lecithin is not soybean oil, and soy lecithin is not the same line as soybean oil.

Artificial sweeteners

Diet, light, and 'no sugar added' products often trade sugar for sucralose, aspartame, or acesulfame potassium. Sugar alcohols such as erythritol stay off unless the household turns that toggle on.

Preservatives & additives

This is not a complete additive census. Yeast in bread dough is not yeast extract. MSG, autolyzed yeast extract, and yeast extract are matched only when those phrases are printed.

Questions worth answering before you install

Does AisleSwap tell me a food is safe?

No. AisleSwap matches personal ingredient preferences against the printed label or an Open Food Facts ingredient list. It is not medical, allergy, or dietary safety advice, and it does not clear a product for a condition, a diet, or a pet.

What happens when a barcode has no ingredient list?

The result stays unknown. Photograph or paste the panel on the package. AisleSwap will not silently substitute a similarly named product, and an incomplete list is never ranked as a clean swap.

Where do product facts come from?

Live barcode lookups use Open Food Facts under the Open Database License. The browser demo and same-aisle examples use an original sample catalog written for AisleSwap, labeled as such, and are not a copy of the Open Food Facts database.

What does the membership cost?

The iOS app offers a 3-day free trial, then $29.99/year, or $6.99/month with no trial. Cancel in App Store subscription settings. This website does not charge you.
