Shazam for Food Allergies

My kid was diagnosed with a gluten allergy last year, and suddenly everything felt like a minefield. Reading labels, Googling ingredients, calling brands, second-guessing every snack — it was exhausting. So I built an app to take that mental load off. Healthsnap lets you snap a photo of any food or food label, and it uses AI to analyze it for common allergens (like gluten, dairy, nuts, soy, etc). It gives also gives nutritional facts, alternatives and emergency guidance. No barcode scanning. No typing. No logins. No BS. The app is built in SwiftUI. Currently only available for iPhones. I'd love to get your feedback on the concept.
