Scanly: Processed Food Scanner

About this app

Scanly tells you what is actually inside the food you buy. Scan a product barcode and get a clear read on how processed it is, which additives it contains, and whether it fits the way you eat.

WHAT YOU GET FROM A SCAN

• Processing level — where the product sits on the scale from whole food to ultra-processed, based on the NOVA classification.
• Score breakdown — the reasoning behind the rating, so you can see why a product scored the way it did instead of trusting a number.
• Additives and E-numbers — the exact additives in the product, named rather than hidden behind a code.
• Ingredients and nutrition — the full list, laid out so it is readable.
• Allergens — flagged against the allergens you told us you want to avoid.
• Diet fit — whether the product matches your dietary restrictions.

BUILT AROUND YOUR PREFERENCES

Tell Scanly which allergens and dietary restrictions matter to you, and every scan is checked against them. Save the products you want to come back to, and keep a history of what you have scanned.

MISSING A PRODUCT?

If a barcode is not in our catalogue yet, take a photo of the packaging and the ingredients list, and we will add it. Spotted something wrong in a product? Report it in a couple of taps and we will look into it.

FREE AND PRO

Scanly is free to use, with a limited number of scans each day. Scanly Pro removes that limit and unlocks the full experience:

• Unlimited barcode scans
• The complete score breakdown
• Every additive and E-number
• Monthly and yearly insights into what you have been eating

Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. You can manage or cancel it at any time in Google Play.

Scanly provides food and nutrition information for general education. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for guidance from a doctor or a qualified nutritionist.
