Most food apps filter recipes. WhittleCart filters the grocery store itself — every product, read label-by-label, so what's left on the shelf is what's safe for you. Then it plans your meals and builds the cart.
⚙ In development — early access comingIf you (or your kid) live with celiac disease, a tree-nut allergy, alpha-gal, or three restrictions at once, you already know the routine: stand in the aisle, read the fine print, google an ingredient, put it back. Apps that filter recipes don't fix that — the risk lives on product labels. WhittleCart reads the labels so the shelf is pre-cleared before you ever see it.
Built on public USDA label data. Every product is checked against every diet with auditable rules — including the sneaky stuff: "may contain" advisories, hidden derivatives, and the difference between goat milk and oat milk.
Three verdicts: fits, doesn't fit, or uncertain. When a label isn't enough to be sure, WhittleCart says so instead of guessing. Nothing is ever silently marked safe.
A meal planner that hits your calories and macros using only products that pass your filters — then sends the shopping list to a real cart (Kroger-family stores today, with item links for Walmart shoppers).
Beyond the 38 built-in filters, custom personal restriction lists are on the roadmap — because "no nightshades except paprika" is a real diet someone has.
WhittleCart is in active development: the filtering engine, the 2-million-product verdict database, a 2,400-recipe meal planner, and live grocery-cart integration are working today in private testing. Early access signups will open here. Questions, ideas, or a diet you'd like supported — write to hello@whittlecart.com.
