What it does
Instant label scan
Point your camera at any food label. Lactose Safe reads it and highlights lactose-containing ingredients in seconds.
International labels
Reads labels in 14 languages, including Japanese, Korean, and Chinese — so you can shop safely when traveling abroad.
Travel phrasebook
Explain lactose intolerance to waiters and locals in their language. Covers dietary restrictions, ingredient questions, and safe ordering.
Hidden lactose detection
Catches sneaky ingredients like whey, casein, milk solids, and lactulose that aren't labeled as 'lactose' but still cause symptoms.
Why this app exists
Dairy derivatives hide under dozens of names in dozens of languages.
Lactose Safe is built by the same team behind Dairyish: people who are lactose intolerant and got fed up with squinting at ingredient lists. It’s the companion app for anyone who wants to eat dairy without the guesswork.
