How YCE knows

What YCE is

YCE (You Can Eat) reads food labels for people who avoid something. Today it answers for gluten. Other restrictions come later, one at a time, each with its own rule and its own tests.

Where the information comes from

From photos of the package, sent from the app. When there is no photo, from the maker's own website, and the page says so.

The words of the label are copied as printed. YCE does not rewrite or translate them.

How the answer is decided

A computer program reads the photo. It only copies what is printed; it does not decide.

Fixed, tested rules decide, using the labelling rules of the country where the product is sold. "Free" needs the label's own statement. When the label is unclear or incomplete, the answer is "Not sure".

What YCE does not say

It is not medical advice. It does not test products and cannot know about a recipe change or a mistake on a label.

Always check the package in your hand.
