◆ THE 50 MILLION USERS APP ◆ 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

    This is a great app. I love how they break down every ingredient & explain every ingredient in any item. It’s a wonderful app that I’ve been using since the beginning. I use it at every grocery visit. Love love love this app. It is wonderful.

  • Misleading Scoring Method

    By Youkelys
    The scoring method is totally wrong and misleading. The Nutri-Score method backed up by a WHO agency. After all the damage WHO did to the world in 2019, it has negative credibility in all they do. Back to the point, the scoring method weighted too much in sugar, saturated fat and sodium content, too simplistic approach that mislead people. Healthy food is way more than that and can’t be explained in a review like this. But, for example a high quality raw milk cheese got poor score just because is fatty by nature, without considering the quality of the milk, grass fed cows, GMO presence and other very important factors. People, get better educated, there is a lot to learn, and avoid relying in tools controlled by external sources. Developers, no need to reply to my review ☺️, the app technically is great, just need to use a better scoring method which I understand is very hard and complex (I would say impossible) in today’s world. Thanks!

    I love this app but I wish you could search up products for free it annoys me because some of my products don’t have a barcode.

  • Good ingredient scanner, bad nutritional advice

    The app gives nonsense ratings to the “scary” macros such as saturated fats, salt, etc. Come on people, if you are not qualified to advise on nutrition, please avoid doing so.

  • Too many duplicates…..

    Have run into the same product listed more than once with a different rating. Exact same product both bad and excellent. Still love the app but am double checking anything that says excellent to make sure all ingredients on the actual product are listed on the rating.

  • Ok

    This is a great app to use if you want to know about food additives. It is however biased to food labeled as organic which is mostly a marketing trick.

  • So very helpful

    I use this app every time I try something new. I've even shared it with people looking at ingredients in the store. Sometimes the score is low on a product but I can make the decision if the reason it is low is due to, say, calorie content, which is not a big factor for me. The additives category is something very important to me and to find out that some of those additives are dangerous is such a plus!

    Just started using this APP from a friends suggestion and I’m loving it. Highly suggest all my friends to use it that are serious about products.
