Tikko: Food & Allergen Scanner

Rastro Tech Services

About this app

Tikko is a food scanner that gives you a personal verdict, not a generic score. Scan the barcode on any packaged food and in two seconds know whether it fits you - based on your health profile, your allergens, and your whole family.

Each verdict is clear: Fits you, Caution for you, or Not for you - always with the number behind it, like "620mg potassium per serving - high for CKD stage 3b." Verdicts are rule-based and explained in plain language with evidence ratings (Established, Emerging, Disputed), so this barcode scanner informs instead of alarming.

FOOD SCANNER FOR REAL HEALTH NEEDS

Diabetes, hypertension, and kidney disease (CKD) profiles with CKD stage selection

Ultra-processed food (NOVA) rating and Nutri-Score on every product
