About this app

◆ 55 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

Super easy to use while shopping. The recommended alternative feature is fantastic. I've gone through every cosmetic/body care item in my bathroom and been able to easily find safe and ethical replacements for the items that weren't up to snuff. I've had no issues like crashes or slow load time, and there's no adds. A++ and I've only used the free version!

The barcode scanner on this app is incredible and usually reads the item within about a half second vs several frustrating seconds for Walmart and Amazon. Also it's extremely easy to set up and understand. I got it set up and running within a couple minutes. There are a few improvements I wish could be made. Since products will sometimes say something like "new formula" I don't know if the yuka results are still correct so a time stamp of when the product was last updated on the app would nice.

Great, but I wish for two things: 1. let me create a shortcut/widget for the desktop that goes directly to the barcode scanner camera view (adding this would bring it up to 5 stars for me); 2. I'd love to toggle or adjust the weights of which factors are considered -for example, I want food with lots of calories, so I'd love to totally remove the "too caloric" factor from what rating is shown to me (I'd pay more for premium if this was added).
