Set Apart

Public alpha · Tester invitation

A more considered look at your ingredients.

For people seeking to follow the dietary instructions in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14, Set Apart is a starting point for checking what is on a food label.

Type an ingredient list. Read the explanation. See what the current rules recognize—and where you still need to ask questions.

Start testing Read the quick start

An early tool for thoughtful testing, not a product certification. Start with manual entry; barcode and photo scanning are demos.

The app you can try today.
Begin with Enter Ingredients Manually.

Read the reason.
Not just the verdict.

An ingredient name does not always establish its source. Set Apart keeps unresolved evidence visible instead of treating an unfamiliar ingredient as clean.

01 / ENTER

Bring the full label.

Type or paste the complete ingredient statement. For your first test, use the short examples in the guide.

02 / UNDERSTAND

Look past the headline.

Read “Why this result,” the ingredients checked, and any flags or unresolved evidence.

03 / HELP SHAPE IT

Show us where it falls short.

Share the exact text, your settings, and what was confusing with the person who invited you.

UNKNOWN never means clean. The ingredient vocabulary is narrow. Many real labels will remain unresolved in this alpha.

A useful place to begin.
Room to grow.

We are inviting testers to work through the real flow: enter text, examine the explanation, check preferences, and tell us what needs attention.

Clear about what is known. Honest about what is not.

These are app screenshots using test text—not endorsements of food products. A CLEAN result covers only the supplied text.

CLEAN result for the supported test list water, carrots, salt
Supported text: water, carrots, salt. Each supplied ingredient matches the current clean reference list.
UNKNOWN result with unresolved evidence for the synthetic test text water, xyzzy extract
Unresolved text: water, xyzzy extract. This is synthetic test text, not food; the unfamiliar phrase must not become a clean verdict.
