Yuka - Food & Cosmetic Scanner
Yuka is a free mobile app that allows users to scan the barcodes of food and personal care products to assess their impact on health. The app provides ratings and detailed information to help users understand the analysis of each product. Additionally, when a product is found to have a negative impact on health, Yuka recommends healthier alternative options. The app prides itself on being a 100% independent project, with objective product reviews and recommendations that are not influenced by any brands or manufacturers. There is no in-app advertising. With a database containing 2 million food products and 1 million cosmetic products, Yuka evaluates each item based on criteria such as nutritional quality, presence of additives, and organic aspect for food products, and analyzes all ingredients for cosmetic products.
