App summary

Analyze keywords

◆ 61 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.

Overall all great app and very eye-opening the chemicals in our foods. One thing I would suggest is the ability to see what grocery stores carry the products listed under the (alternative) Recommendations, or even a filter where I can select only recommendations that are available at a particular grocery store. That would be very helpful as I don't know if my store carries all the ones that are listed.

Inconsistent ratings. A product will be rated good one day, then bad the next. I was buying items I thought were good, then the ratings change. I'm tired of this because It isn't helping me. UPDATE *** Thank you for your reply. I was hoping this app would save me time, but it seems I have to scan the same items again because of possible changes in the ingredients. Also, I hope bad ratings of an ingredient doesn't create fear mongering regarding small amounts of that ingredient.

My mom and I are absolutely obsessed with this app. We literally have been going to the grocery store and scanning so many different things and have been eating better because of it. I love the fact that it also tells you information about skin care and cosmetic products. I love how the app breaks down each product by ingredient and how it recommends better and healthier alternatives. I do wish however that the app expanded a bit more into product categories like laundry and dish detergents.
