Description

◆ 65 MILLION USERS ◆ Yuka is a free mobile app that allows you to scan the barcodes of food and personal care products and instantly see their impact on your health. A rating and detailed information help you understand the analysis of each product. When a product has a negative impact on your health, Yuka also recommends similar but healthier alternative products. ◆ A 100% INDEPENDENT PROJECT ◆ Yuka is a 100% independent project : product reviews and recommendations of healthier alternatives are done in an objective way. No brand or manufacturer can influence them in one way or another. Furthermore, there is no in-app advertising. You can access detailed information on our business model on our website (www.yuka.io). ◆ 5 MILLION REFERENCED PRODUCTS ◆ Yuka established a database that contains 3 million food products and 2 million cosmetic products. Each food product is evaluated according to 3 objective criteria: nutritional quality, presence of additives and organic aspect of the product. The method to analyse cosmetic products is based on the analysis of all the ingredients of the product. Each ingredient is assigned a risk level according to the latest scientific data. --- Terms of use: https://yuka-app.helpdocs.io/l/en/article/2a12869y56

  • Alternate choices

    It’s nice that foods can be evaluated for additives, etc. However, some improvement is needed for alternate food choices. I checked out one of my favorite lemon cookies, which, understandably was not that healthy. However, of the recommended alternate cookies, not one of them was a lemon cookie. There are lots of lemon cookies in the market. At least one of them must be a healthier choice.

    This app has helped me to realize that I’m not eating as healthy as I thought I was. Even things from “health” food stores can be packed full of bad stuff. I have been enjoying the free version of this app. I think what would make this better is if you got like 5 free look ups before needing to pay for the app. I really like that they don’t allow brands to pay to have a better score. That’s what makes this such a special app. And the beauty products section has helped me to curate a safer skin care routine so that I’m not absorbing harmful chemicals into the largest organ I have! Thanks Yuka for helping us to all live healthier safer lives.

    I use this while shopping. It is very helpful with recommendations and the rating of the ingredients. Wish we had something like this for over the counter medications.

    I love the fact that I get to contribute at my own perspective, this gives me confirmation that they are not here for just the money but also that if I choose the biggest contribution is because I trust their product, thank you.

    This app is so helpful and easy to use. I like that the bad ratings breakdown what makes them bad so you can better understand watch outs.

    Amazing App! Very intuitive and easy to use! Will revolutionize the way we shop for groceries. If widely adopted will greatly improve health in America and elsewhere. Spread the word.

  • Food in America is literally poison.

    Thank gosh for apps like this that enable us to protect ourselves because the government sure won’t. Depressing as heck, though.

  • Keto diet

    It would be nice if you also rated different diets. Some of your good ratings are not so good if you are on a keto diet. I’m not sure how you could separate the two. I want to eat clean with no chemicals but also want help in finding low carb foods. Thanks. Michelle.

    If what this app tells me is true then my goodness the whole food industry should be in jail. They warned us but we don’t listen. Well scan some of those healthy snacks you got in your pantry and I bet you find out what you were told was healthy is not even close. This app can save our lives.

  • Love this app!

    Making sure that the majority of the food I purchase is not filled with ingredients I can’t pronounce or are overly processed makes it very easy with the Yuka app!!
