FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Equivaleat do?
It checks foods against your allergies, diet and health conditions. When something isn't a fit, it suggests a nutritionally similar alternative that is, and shows exactly which nutrients go up or down.
Is it free? Do I need to install anything?
Equivaleat is free and runs in your browser on any phone or computer. You can add it to your home screen to open it like a regular app.
How does it find equivalent foods?
It compares nutrient profiles using data from USDA FoodData Central and Open Food Facts, ranks the closest matches, and removes anything that conflicts with your filters. Each result shows its match score and why it was chosen.
How reliable is the allergen check?
For packaged products it reads the declared allergens and ingredient list from Open Food Facts; for general foods it matches the food's name against your filters. It's guidance, not a guarantee, so always check the packaging, especially for severe allergies.
Can it handle several restrictions at once?
Yes. Allergies, a diet such as vegan or keto, and health conditions are applied together, and an Excluded tab shows every food that was filtered out and why.
Is this medical advice?
No. Equivaleat is an educational tool. If you have a medical condition, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian before changing your diet.
