What does pom do?

pom is a mobile app that helps consumers understand what's really in their food and personal care products. Using your phone's camera, you can scan product barcodes to instantly see a breakdown of ingredients. The app automatically flags components that have scientific evidence of potential health risks, giving you immediate visibility into what you're buying and consuming.

The app stands out by providing clear, simplified summaries of scientific research behind each ingredient. You can also create custom flags for specific ingredients you want to avoid based on personal preferences or health needs. It works across both food items and cosmetics, making it useful for your entire shopping cart rather than just one category.

pom is particularly valuable for people with food sensitivities, allergies, or specific health concerns. Parents can use it to make safer choices for their families, and anyone interested in understanding product ingredients will find it helpful. The app transforms the often overwhelming task of reading ingredient labels into a quick, informative process that empowers better shopping decisions.
