Crumb reads a meal or an ingredient list and explains the gluten risk. When the evidence is uncertain, Crumb says so instead of forcing a safe or unsafe verdict.

## What is free

The gluten-risk core is free. Start at [crumb.nomoi.ai](https://crumb.nomoi.ai).

## The optional calorie layer

After a free read, adults can add calorie-range and deficit tracking for $1 in the first month, then $5.99/month, or $49/year.

Paying never changes the gluten-risk answer.
