# DogDish

> DogDish is a dog food and treat analyzer that turns a barcode or package-label photo into a deterministic A–F food grade, ingredient safety flags, an AAFCO nutritional adequacy check, and official-source recall matches.

DogDish is an informational decision aid. It is not veterinary advice, a diagnosis, a laboratory test, or an official recall authority. Users should verify extracted label text and any recall match against the physical package and the linked government notice.
