About

Built for people who read the label.

SihhaScan is a GCC-shelf scanner that turns ingredient panels into clear, deterministic answers — and watches the products you save for silent recipe changes. It's made for two people: the parent whose child has a serious allergy, and the adult who has decided what does and doesn't go in their body.

Why we exist

Reading the label is the easy part. Knowing if it changed isn't.

Walk any GCC supermarket and you'll see ingredient panels in two languages, manufacturer codes, GSO references, and small-print disclosures. Most of us learn to scan the panels we trust. The problem isn't the first read — it's the third, the tenth, the one you never made because the product is 'the one we always buy.'

Brands quietly reformulate. Sunflower oil swaps in for olive. A 'may contain' line appears and disappears. A halal certification lapses without anyone announcing it. The package can't tell you what was different last week. We can.

Who we built it for

Two people, one product.

  • Parents managing a serious allergy

    Sesame, peanut, egg, milk, gluten. The kid's safe-list isn't a list — it's a practice. We help you audit it without rereading every panel every shop.

  • Adults who've decided what they eat

    No seed oils. Halal-only. Low sodium. Diabetic-friendly. We turn your rules into a filter that runs on every barcode you point at.

What's actually in the product

Three things we do — and one we don't.

  1. 01

    Read the panel.

    GS1 GCC barcode in milliseconds. Arabic and English ingredient panels both supported. OCR fallback when the barcode isn't registered.

  2. 02

    Save what fits your body.

    Tap save and the product joins a per-person safe-list. The panel gets hashed; we check the hash on every label refresh.

  3. 03

    Push the moment a recipe changes.

    When the hash differs, you get a notification — usually before you'd buy it next. Regulator recalls (ESMA, SFDA, GAC) push within minutes.

  4. ——

    What we don't do.

    We don't run ML on the verdict itself. The halal/allergen call is a deterministic, versioned rules engine. ML helps with OCR cleanup and brand fuzzy-match — never the answer that matters.

Our principles

Four commitments we won't soften.

  • Data stays in the GCC

    AWS me-central-1. Cross-region replication off by default. No transfer to Firebase or external regions.

  • Verdicts are reproducible

    Every scan persists the rule-engine version, raw inputs, and a hash. A past verdict can be re-derived a year later.

  • No ML in the call

    Deterministic, versioned rules. ML only for OCR cleanup and brand matching — never for the answer.

  • Cited, not scraped

    Catalog from GS1 GCC, ESMA, SFDA, GAC official feeds plus user submissions. No retailer scraping.

Where we stand

Made in Oman. Built for the GCC first.

SihhaScan is built and operated from Oman by Resilience Strategies (Muscat), with all user data in the AWS me-central-1 region. The verdict engine ships against GSO standards (Gulf Standardization Organization) and cites ESMA, SFDA, GAC, and GS1 GCC where applicable. iOS first; Android follows in the staged rollout.
