SweetSpot - Sweetener Scanner

SweetSpot decodes the sweeteners in your food.

Scan a barcode and in seconds see every sweetener inside — from cane sugar to sucralose, stevia to erythritol, allulose to acesulfame potassium. Built originally for people with sweetener allergies, it has become the go-to app for anyone who actually wants to understand what is going into their body.

SCAN ANY BARCODE
Point your camera at any product and SweetSpot pulls ingredients from a database of 3+ million products. If a barcode is not found, snap a photo of the ingredient label and we will read it with on-device OCR.

DETECT 45+ SWEETENERS
From household names like xylitol and erythritol to obscure E-numbers like E950 and E955, SweetSpot recognizes them all — including misspellings, aliases, and compound names.

EVIDENCE-BASED HEALTH SCORES
Each sweetener is scored across taste quality, sugar impact, naturalness, tooth-friendliness, and overall health. Scores are backed by 290+ real research citations you can tap through to the primary paper.

AVOIDANCE MODE
Tell SweetSpot which sweeteners you need to avoid — for allergies, gut sensitivity, low-sugar diets, or personal choice. Every scan is flagged the second an avoided ingredient is detected.

WATCHLIST & ALERTS
Subscribe to sweeteners you care about and get notified when research or regulatory status changes.

PROFESSIONAL RESEARCH, ACCESSIBLE
