Checks US packaged foods for lab-detected contaminants (lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, perchlorate, phthalates), FDA recalls, restricted additives by state, and typical contamination levels. Returns sources and sample data without assigning grades.

Example request: "Check if my baby formula has any lead or cadmium detected in recent lab tests."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Spoon Scout to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://food.agentlookups.ai/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.
