About
Helvetic Mom is a Swiss iOS app for expecting parents. Scan a barcode, photograph a label, product or meal, or type the ingredients. You get a calm, general read in seconds: often considered fine, extra attention, or often avoided. Not a diagnosis and not medical advice.

Calm language
General context with an explanation, not a traffic-light verdict presented as a diagnosis.
Who it is for
For expecting parents and partners in Switzerland who have an everyday question in a shop or kitchen and do not want to search the web. It is also for people shopping in Switzerland who use English, French or Italian.
How it works
