◆ 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 used to be the best app ever for staying healthy and eating well but company’s have started bribing them for higher ratings which they’re accepting

  • Great but missing one thing

    I have been using this app for years now to help me find healthier alternatives to everyday items and it’s been super helpful for someone like me who’s really trying to be health conscious. The only thing I’ve become more conscious about in the last year is Cedar Hills, and one thing that you could does not highlight as bad is seed oils such as sunflower, soybean, canola oil, etc. if they add that this app will be 5 stars.

  • Fantastic app to help better your health!

    I am a cancer survivor so I do my best to monitor what I put in my body and let me tell you, this app is fantastic for that. I can at easy scan an item in the store and figure out if this is a safe product or not. Not only that but it gives you recommendations on alternatives. Out of 10 I would give this app a 10. Would love to see a lock screen widget to make access that much quicker in the the future.

  • Great at first now inconsistent

    This app was great when I first started using it a few years ago, but I’ve noticed that it’s changing its rating on products. It’s even suggesting products that are full of added sugars etc. I can’t seem to trust it anymore.

  • Great for Additives, Bad Rating System

    It’s great to find out what additives are in my food. I’ve been eating a lot more organic foods, so this helps to find what justifies their price tag. Now, two things: 1. The rating system is pretty bad. Saturated fat and sugar are not evil. They’re fine and our bodies adapt to them. I think that this rating system will scare people off of food that isn’t boring to eat like all the plain items without sugar. 2. Not their fault, but the ingredients do get messed up sometimes. Like one of the most healthiest milks, for example, somehow had “artificial flavor” mark when the flavor was actually natural. I’m wondering if there is manipulation going on, but who knows. This app is a great supplemental tool to learn more about food. I feel like the ratings shouldn’t be on a 100 point scale. Just make it 5 with 1 being the least healthy. And don’t put so much blame on sugar and saturated fat. We do need all kinds of fat.

  • Awesome

    A great way to keep track of your way of eating. Not only does it give you the ratings and information on the product, but it also gives you alternatives if the product is not healthy.

  • Very deceptive and misleading app

    This app is great for making you more aware of some of the “possibly” harmful ingredients in products, but their recommendations are just as bad and they’ll rate them good. Changing the portion size can change the results between two products. It just told me a bread with 4g of sugar per slice is better than a Keto bread I scanned. It will also tell you Arizona fruit punch is better than the tea because the serving size in the punch is like 8oz and less sugar vs the 12 or 16oz of the tea with more sugar. But ounce for ounce, the fruit punch has way more sugar.

  • Must have app..

    I use this app daily. One of the only apps I pay the subscription on to use the extra features. It’s basically a contribution to support the app and opens up many more great functions. I use the app while going through the store and have found numerous things I thought were supposed to be “healthy” that I scanned and left on the shelf. Try it. You’ll be glad you did. My friend uses it as well and lets her little girl scan the items. I think that’s a great way to make kid’s conscious of what choices to make and what to watch for.
