Know what's really in your food, in seconds.
Just point your camera at the barcode. If the product isn't found, snap a picture of the ingredient list instead. Junk ingredients turn red, additives yellow, and good ones green, so you can spot junk without reading the fine print.
How the colors work
No mystery score. Junk Scan counts what's in the product, and you can tap any ingredient to see why it got its color.
Junk
Ingredients we suggest avoiding, like artificial dyes, artificial flavors, hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup.
Additives
Stabilizers, thickeners, preservatives and added sugars. Often allowed and harmless, but a sign the food is processed.
Good
Whole-food ingredients like milk, oats, fruit, vegetables, eggs and live cultures.
Products with 3 or more junk ingredients, or 5 or more additives, get a red flag for ultra-processed food.
Simple by design
Opens straight to the camera. No sign-up, no account.
Barcode or label photo
Scan a barcode for packaged foods. No barcode? Take a picture of the ingredient list instead.
Nutrition Facts, colored
Added sugar, sodium, fat and more, colored using FDA Daily Values so you can compare products quickly.
