How Titano works — and what it can't do

Titano helps you read ingredient labels for the things you've told it you avoid. It's a helper, not a guarantee. Please understand exactly what it does and where it falls short before you rely on it.

What it does

  • You set a profile once — the allergens, intolerances, and diets you care about.
  • You point your camera at an ingredients list. Titano reads the text on your device (nothing is uploaded).
  • It checks the words it read against a built-in list of ingredient names and their hidden synonyms — casein means milk, semolina means gluten — and shows you a result with the exact terms that matched.

What it deliberately does not tell you

Titano never says a food is "safe." A positive result reads "Nothing flagged" — meaning it didn't spot anything on your list in the text it read. That is not the same as the food being safe for you.

Where it can be wrong

  • It can misread the label. Glare, curved or glossy packaging, tiny print, damage, or a language it doesn't handle well can all cause a missed or wrong reading.
  • It can't see what isn't printed. Cross-contamination and "made in a facility that also handles…" risks are often not in the ingredients list at all.
  • Recipes change. A manufacturer can reformulate a product at any time; our built-in knowledge can lag behind.
  • Our ingredient list has gaps. New or unusual ingredient names may not be recognised yet.

How to use it safely

  • Always read the packaging yourself. Use Titano as a second pair of eyes, never as the only check.
  • Do not use Titano for medical or allergy-safety decisions. If a reaction could be serious, Titano is not a substitute for reading the label, and not a substitute for medical advice.
  • Titano is a reading aid for diets, intolerances, and preferences — it is not a medical device.
