Fig analyzes ingredient and allergen statements for grocery products and restaurant menu items to determine if they may fit your dietary needs. Since ingredient and allergen statements can change at any time, ALWAYS confirm if a food fits your needs by reviewing physical food labels, contacting food manufacturers and/or checking with restaurant staff, especially if you live with life-threatening food allergies or have cross-contamination concerns.

green checkmark

A green check means Fig did not identify any ingredients you are avoiding listed on the product label or restaurant website. Always confirm this by reviewing the physical product’s food label, contacting the food manufacturer and/or checking with restaurant staff.

yellow dash

A yellow dash means Fig identified ingredients on the product label or restaurant website that may not fit your dietary needs. Yellow ingredients typically need to be researched in order to understand if they fit your needs. Click any yellow-colored ingredient to read why it may not match your needs.

red x

A red X means Fig identified ingredients on the product label or restaurant website that do NOT fit your dietary needs. Click any red-colored ingredient to read why it likely does not match your needs.

In summary, Fig is a guide for identifying foods that may fit your dietary needs. It’s CRITICAL that you confirm this by double-checking ingredients and allergens prior to purchasing or consuming anything, especially if you live with life-threatening food allergies and/or have cross-contamination concerns. Fig highly suggests checking with food manufacturers and restaurant staff prior to purchasing or consuming anything. If you’re unsure of your dietary needs, please check with your doctor.
