About this app

◆ 58 MILLION USERS ◆

Yuka scans food, beauty & personal care products to decipher their ingredients and evaluate their impact on your health.

In a world of incomprehensible labels, Yuka provides clarity in one quick scan so you can make clear-sighted purchases.

Yuka uses a simple color code to inform you of the product's impact on your health: excellent, good, mediocre, or poor. You can access a detailed info page for each product, to help you understand its grade.

◆ 3 MILLION FOOD PRODUCTS ◆

Every product is evaluated according to 3 objective criteria: nutritional value, additives, and the organic dimension of the product.

◆ 2 MILLION BEAUTY PRODUCTS ◆

The scoring method relies on analyzing all of the product's ingredients. Every ingredient is assigned a level of risk, based on current scientific research.

◆ BEST PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS ◆

For any product with a negative grade, Yuka will recommend in total independence a similar product that's better for your health as an alternative.

◆ 100% INDEPENDENT ◆

Yuka is a 100% independent application. This means that product evaluations and recommendations are completely objective: no brand or manufacturer can influence them in one way or another. In addition, the application does not advertise. Find out more about our funding on our website.

Ratings and reviews

Absolute life changer!!! Best app I've downloaded in at least the last 5 years, probably more. It works fast, easy to use, amazing useful info. It sites the sources for its conclusions and recommends alternative options for most things your scan. Can't say enough good about it I'm telling all my friends and family!

Almost perfect. It has easy to use scanner to find food and immediately gives a score. My one "complaint " is I can't turn on or off the criteria for marking it poor. I personally don't think a food is unhealthy based on calories, but this app does. I also don't have issues with sodium or saturated fat per say. They aren't the same as dangerous preservatives that have proven unsafe. I get that some people might want these options on, but I just wish they were OPTIONS instead of always on.

Worst app ever for letting me find out I can't eat anything in the U.S. because our food is poison. I would love if I could upload any Ingredients List and Nutrition Facts for products without UPCs (particularly restaurants, fast casual, and fast food) for analysis. Amazing and eye-opening to know for sure what I've always thought, with source citations to research papers for the evidence! Can't wait to go back to Europe!
