About this app

◆ 58 MILLION USERS ◆

Yuka scans food & personal care products to decipher their ingredients and evaluate their impact on your health.

In a world of incomprehensible labels, Yuka provides clarity in one quick scan so you can make clear-sighted purchases.

Yuka uses a simple color code to inform you of the product's impact on your health: excellent, good, mediocre, or poor. You can access a detailed info page for each product, to help you understand its grade.

◆ 3 MILLION FOOD PRODUCTS ◆

Every product is evaluated according to 3 objective criteria: nutritional value, additives, and the organic dimension of the product.

◆ 3 MILLION COSMETIC PRODUCTS ◆

The scoring method relies on analyzing all of the product's ingredients. Every ingredient is assigned a level of risk, based on current scientific research.

◆ BEST PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS ◆

For any product with a negative grade, Yuka will recommend in total independence a similar product that's better for your health as an alternative.

◆ 100% INDEPENDENT ◆

Yuka is a 100% independent application. This means that product evaluations and recommendations are completely objective: no brand or manufacturer can influence them in one way or another. In addition, the application does not advertise. Find out more about our funding on our website.

Ratings and reviews

Since using this app, the free version, I've lost almost 20lbs. I feel more in control of my life than ever before. If a product does not scan, I look for something that will. If a product rates poorly, this app gives me healthier options. It tells me exactly what additives are in my food (including meats) and health and beauty products. Then, it breaks it down even further by telling me about the risks that each may pose, and I can even read the scientific research on them. EVERYONE needs this!

My husband downloaded on his Apple phone and it worked wonderfully. I downloaded on my Android and I can only scan. I uninstalled and when I reinstalled everything was there and I could look at all the things I scanned but once I opened the scanner that's all I can do again. It doesn't give me any other options. I want to use this app if there is a setting or something I need to change? Please help me.

I've just downloaded the app and so far, I find it quite useful. I love that the ingredients are explained in-depth and information is cited and written in plain terms to make things very easy to understand for anyone. I appreciate that you can search for products by type. I was bummed with the inability to search by ingredient. I think adding this as a feature would aid in situations where the product you're looking for isn't yet in the database.
