Abstract: In recent years, the rapid increase in the consumption of packaged and processed food products has created a growing need for accessible and practical tools that help consumers understand what they eat and how it affects their health. Although nutritional labels and ingredient lists are available on most packaged foods, they are often difficult for the general public to interpret. Technical terminology, small print, and the lack of personalized context make it challenging for individuals to determine whether a product is safe or suitable for their dietary needs, allergies, or health conditions. As a result, consumers frequently rely on guesswork when making food choices, which may lead to unintended health risks over time. This project addresses this gap by presenting a consumer-oriented food safety analysis system designed to assist users in evaluating packaged food products in a simple, understandable, and personalized manner. The system focuses on ingredient-level analysis and aims to support real-time decision-making by transforming complex product information into meaningful safety insights. By emphasizing clarity, personalization, and interpretability, the proposed solution attempts to bridge the divide between technical food data and everyday consumer awareness. The developed system operates through a barcode-driven workflow, where a product is identified using its barcode and linked to a structured database containing ingredient composition and related information. Once a product is identified, its ingredients are analyzed using a deterministic reasoning approach that evaluates potential risks, allergens, and dietary incompatibilities. User preferences such as allergies, dietary choices, and specific health considerations are incorporated into the analysis to ensure that the results are relevant to individual needs rather than generic recommendations. This allows the system to provide suitability classifications and safety insights that are both personalized and understandable. A key aspect of the project is the use of a rule-based health and allergen evaluation engine supported by a curated ingredient knowledge base. This approach was selected to ensure consistency, transparency, and explainability in the system’s decisions. During the development process, several data-driven and deep learning–based methods were explored to assess their potential for automated risk prediction. However, the limited availability of reliable and well-labeled food safety datasets posed challenges for model generalization and safe deployment. Given the consumer-facing nature of the application and the importance of predictable outcomes, the deterministic rule-based framework was finalized as the primary analytical mechanism. In addition to analytical evaluation, the system incorporates an explanation layer that communicates the reasoning behind safety decisions in a clear and user-friendly manner. The application translates ingredient-level analysis into structured safety scores, suitability classifications, and simplified explanations that help users understand the implications of their food choices. This emphasis on interpretability ensures that the system supports awareness and informed decision-making rather than acting as a black-box recommendation tool. The final implementation is structured as a mobile-oriented application workflow integrating barcode scanning, ingredient analysis, personalized safety assessment, and explainable reporting into a unified platform. The design prioritizes reliability, ease of use, and real-time responsiveness so that users can evaluate food products during everyday purchasing or consumption scenarios. By combining structured datasets, deterministic reasoning, and user preference modeling, the system demonstrates how practical engineering solutions can support consumer health awareness without relying solely on complex or data-intensive AI models. Overall, this work highlights the importance of building human-centered intelligent systems that prioritize transparency, stability, and usability in health-related applications. The proposed framework shows that deterministic reasoning, when supported by well-structured knowledge and personalization mechanisms, can deliver meaningful and trustworthy food safety insights. At the same time, the architecture remains open for future enhancement through the integration of advanced machine learning and AI-driven approaches as larger and more reliable datasets become available. The system therefore serves as both a functional consumer assistance tool and a foundation for continued research in personalized food safety analysis and intelligent dietary support systems.
