FoodProof

Food labels deserve a closer look.

Document a concern. Prepare a complaint. Give the community a clearer picture.

Enter invited pilotHow it works

A community project for people with celiac disease in India, and for the people who shop and cook for them.

A kraft pouch whose paper label reads SAMPLE PANTRY, GLUTEN-FREE. A magnifying glass rests over the ingredient list below it, where wheat flour is highlighted.
Illustrative exampleA fictional label made for this project, not a photograph of a real product. It shows the kind of contradiction a reporter might document; it is not an allegation about any real brand.

The front says gluten-free. The ingredient list says wheat flour.

FoodProof is where that observation goes. You photograph the front claim, the ingredient list and something that identifies the pack, and you write down in your own words what does not add up. It stays private while you work on it.

From those facts FoodProof prepares a factual complaint. You read it, change anything you want, and send it yourself: to the brand, or through the official FSSAI grievance portal. FoodProof never sends anything for you.

Then you record what came back, and when. If you decide to share the concern, a reviewer checks it first, and a redacted version joins the community record, so the next person can see that the same product has come up before.

How it works

  1. Photograph the label

    The claim on the front, the full ingredient list, and something that identifies the product: its name, variant, batch or your receipt. Then say in your own words what does not add up.

  2. Prepare the complaint

    FoodProof drafts a factual message from the facts you confirmed. You review and edit it, then send it yourself through your own email or the official FSSAI grievance portal. Nothing is sent for you.

  3. Track what happens

    Record every submission and every reply on the report’s own timeline, with the brand and the authority kept apart. Close the concern when you are done with it, or reopen it if it starts again.

  4. Share, if you choose

    Sharing is a separate decision, asked once and never assumed. A reviewer checks the report, and only then does a redacted version appear in the community feed.

Pilot notice

This is an invited demo. Everything inside it (products, brands, concerns and responses) is an illustrative example using sample or redacted information. Nothing in the pilot describes a real complaint about a real company.
