Ingredo.app for Celiac and gluten-free diets
Yes — turn on the Celiac / gluten-free profile and Ingredo.app re-scores every food you scan specifically for gluten, hard-blocking known gluten sources and downgrading anything with unverified traces, citing the source behind each flag. It's an informational aid, not a diagnosis — the physical label and manufacturer confirmation remain authoritative for cross-contamination risk.
Two people can scan the same biscuit and get different answers. With the Celiac profile active, a gluten-containing ingredient turns the personal verdict to avoid, even when the generic score looks fine.
Because we cannot detect trace amounts or cross-contamination, a clean scan is never a substitute for reading the label — especially the "may contain" line.
What Ingredo.app flags for a Celiac profile
Gluten sources are a hard block, oats included; only oats in a product labelled gluten-free drop to a caution.
Hard block
- Wheat, barley, rye, oats and their derivatives
- Malt and malt extract
- Ingredients declared as containing gluten
Check the label
- Oats in a product labelled gluten-free, when oats are its only gluten source — a caution, never a pass
- Ingredients of uncertain origin flagged as a precaution
Good match
- Naturally gluten-free foods with no flagged ingredients

Common questions
No. Ingredo.app cannot detect trace amounts or cross-contamination. The physical label is always authoritative, especially the "may contain" statement.
Yes. Plain oats are a hard block, like wheat, because they are often contaminated with gluten. Oats in a product labelled gluten-free, where oats are the only gluten source, are a caution instead: most people with coeliac disease tolerate them, but a minority react to avenin, the protein in oats.
