Features

◆ 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.

Yuka app 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!"

"I sure wish I could get this app to work. At first it there was repeated problems setting it up. I finally got that done, and now the app will not open. It tries to then shut down and the app icon shrinks back to it's spot in my phone. VEry frustrating. I'm a big lable reader and this app would save me a ton of time (I think) if it worked. Ive never had problems like this with any other app. Good luck if you try it. I hope it works for you but it doesn't for me. I'm taking off my phone."

"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."
