FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my ingredient list?

    No. The AI only reads and checks the ingredients you provide; it cannot modify your original files or databases.

  • 02

    Does the AI handle labeling design?

    No. The tool only identifies allergen presence. It does not generate or format food packaging or labels.

  • 03

    Can I check a whole spreadsheet at once?

    Yes, if you provide the ingredient data from your sheet in the chat, the AI can process the list.

  • 04

    What happens if an ingredient is ambiguous?

    The AI will flag the item for human review rather than giving a definitive pass or fail.

  • 05

    Does this replace a food safety professional?

    No. The AI is a tool for rapid screening. All final safety decisions must be made by a qualified human.
