6 BARIATRIC-FOCUSED SCORING FACTORS
Bariscan scores every product using six factors weighted for post-bariatric nutrition:
Sugar (25%) — Flags added sugar, hidden sugars, and HFCS
Protein (25%) — Prioritizes higher-protein choices
Fat / Dumping Risk (20%) — Highlights common dumping triggers
Fiber (10%) — Supports steadier post-surgical digestion
Ingredient Quality (10%) — Spots sugar alcohols and hydrogenated oils
Calorie Density (10%) — Favors nutrient-dense options
This bariatric macro calculator app does the analysis so you can spend less time reading labels and more time living your life.
DUMPING SCORE — KNOW THE RISK BEFORE YOU BUY
Dumping syndrome affects up to 85% of gastric bypass patients. Bariscan flags the dumping risk for every food you scan based on sugar, fat, and trigger ingredients. See the risk — Low, Medium, or High — before it goes in your cart.
The only free bariatric app with dumping risk flagging on every scan.
