🍎 Hey Product Hunt! 👋 We're excited to launch pom, an ingredient checker app that empowers you to make informed decisions on the products you put in and on your body. There are many ingredients allowed into our everyday products that have concerning evidence linking them to being harmful to human health. That's why we made pom. To further the efforts in ingredient transparency. We are 100% independent and are backed by science, giving you the ability to see the full scientific picture (the good and the bad). pom also allows for customization, letting you decide what's important to you. Give pom a try and start scanning for peace of mind today! P.S. we're still in the early stages so any feedback is greatly appreciated :)

Congrats, a nice and practical use case! Do you consider it opening to other makets and languages too? I hope your tech can be used with different languages too. 🖖

I recommend the POM app, as it helps to easily and quickly choose products that are safe for health. Simply scan the ingredient list of any item and POM will flag potentially harmful substances.

Congrats on the launch! Definitely a much needed app! I like that it has a scan feature instead of entering the items individually.

Wow, this is such a need of the hour. However, I tried searching on Android in my country (India) but couldnt find it in there.

Much needed today! You never know what you’re actually getting in your food these days.

Amazing app concept! As someone who often scrutinizes product ingredient lists, pom is a real lifesaver. Being able to scan ingredient lists to identify potentially harmful ingredients and customize flags based on personal needs is super practical. I particularly love how the app provides smart analysis based on latest research, making shopping decisions more science-based. If in the future you could extend this to skincare and cosmetic products, and highlight active ingredients, that would be perfect! It would help us quickly understand product efficacy. Looking forward to seeing how the product evolves! 👏

Wow! I love this app and the positive impact it has on the way we eat! I'm excited to try it when it's available in Brazil. Congratulations!

Thats actually really helpful, may I know if if pom will translate the ingredients language when I scan a language other than english ?

Congrats on launching pom! 🎉 This is such a timely and important app—ingredient transparency is something so many of us care about, but it’s often hard to get reliable information. I love that pom is backed by science and offers a customizable approach so users can focus on what matters most to them. 🍎 The ability to scan products and make informed decisions sounds like a game-changer, especially for people with specific health concerns or allergies. Quick question: does pom offer insights into certifications or alternative products with cleaner ingredients? Wishing you all the best as you continue to grow and refine the app. I’ll definitely be giving it a try and spreading the word! 🚀

I dig the idea! I'm curious to hear if there is plans for users to select a condition (celiac, gluten free, histamine intolerant, etc) and ingredients be marked as safe or unsafe for them as well based on literature. I think that would take this to the next level.

Congrats! Can I define my own categories too? Like artificial sweeteners or specific allergens
