About this app

Do you know what's really in your food?

UPF Scanner uses advanced AI to analyse ingredient labels and tell you exactly how ultra-processed a food product is in seconds. Simply photograph the ingredient list on any food packaging and get an instant score, NOVA classification, and plain-English explanation of what you're eating.

HOW IT WORKS
Point your camera at any ingredient list, tap Analyze Ingredients, and UPF Scanner will:
• Score the product from 0–100 (0 = completely natural, 100 = maximally ultra-processed)
• Assign a NOVA Group classification (1 through 4) used by nutrition researchers worldwide
• Highlight the specific ingredients driving the score, color-coded by severity
• Explain in plain language why the product received its rating

WHAT WE LOOK FOR
UPF Scanner is trained to identify the hallmarks of ultra-processed foods, including: high-fructose corn syrup, maltodextrin, modified starches, artificial flavorings, colorings, preservatives, emulsifiers, stabilizers, and other additives not typically found in home cooking.

PRIVACY FIRST
Your images never pass through our servers. Photos are analysed directly via the Google Gemini AI API using your own API key, and no data is stored or shared. Your API key is saved only on your device.

POWERED BY GOOGLE GEMINI AI
UPF Scanner uses Google's state-of-the-art Gemini vision AI to read and interpret ingredient lists — even from imperfect photos. The AI understands ingredient context, not just keywords, giving you nuanced and accurate assessments.
