About this app

Know what's really in your food.

SnackWise is the food scanner that turns the confusing fine print on the back of the package into a clear, honest answer. Snap a photo of any packaged food and SnackWise reads the label for you, surfacing the additives, dyes, seed oils, and ingredients worth questioning, then giving you a simple health score from 1 to 100.

Calories and macros don't tell the whole story. SnackWise looks at what's actually in your food and explains it in plain language the whole family can understand.

WHAT SNACKWISE DOES

- Scans the front and back of any packaged food in seconds
- Reads the ingredient list and nutrition facts for you
- Flags artificial dyes, additives, and preservatives for review
- Identifies refined seed oils (canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, and more)
- Alerts you when a product contains an ingredient banned or restricted in other markets
- Calls out ultra-processed markers and ingredients worth questioning
- Gives every product a clear 1 to 100 health score with an easy Healthy, Okay, or Yikes rating

HOW IT WORKS

1. Tap Scan and photograph the front of the package
2. Photograph the back label (ingredients and nutrition)
3. Get your score, a friendly summary, and a breakdown of the top concerns

No barcode needed. Because this food scanner reads the actual label in front of you, even niche brands, imports, and brand-new products get a full, accurate read.

YOUR TOP CONCERNS, FRONT AND CENTER: Instead of burying you in a wall of chemical names, SnackWise leads with what matters most. It ranks the biggest red flags first, labeled High Risk, Moderate Concern, or Worth Reviewing, with a short, plain-English reason for each, then tucks the smaller stuff into a quick "other concerns" list.

A SCORE YOU CAN TRUST: Every score is built from four factors:

- Seed oils and artificial additives
- Concerning ingredients
- Organic authenticity
- Nutrition balance

We use careful, responsible language. Ingredients are described as "linked to" or "associated with" certain concerns, or "flagged for review," never sweeping medical claims, so you get the context to make your own call.

PERFECT FOR

- Parents checking snacks, cereals, and lunchbox foods for artificial dyes
- Anyone avoiding seed oils or cutting back on ultra-processed foods
- Shoppers comparing two products side by side in the grocery aisle
- Label readers tired of googling ingredient names one at a time

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE

- Save every scan to your history and search it anytime
- Revisit any product for the full breakdown
- Private Mode keeps a scan off your saved history when you want it to
