Yuka is an application that allows users to scan food, beauty, and personal care products to determine their ingredients and evaluate their impact on their health. With just one quick scan, users can gain clarity on the often confusing labels of these products and make informed purchases.
The app uses a simple color code to indicate the product's impact on health, with options ranging from excellent to poor. For more detailed information, users can access a product's info page to better understand its grade.
Yuka evaluates over 3 million food products based on three objective criteria: nutritional value, additives, and organic dimension. For beauty products, the app analyzes all ingredients and assigns a risk level based on current scientific research for its database of 2 million products.
In cases where a product receives a negative grade, Yuka will recommend a similar product that is better for the user's health. This recommendation is made independently, without any influence from brands or manufacturers.
As a 100% independent application, Yuka's evaluations and recommendations are completely objective. The app does not advertise, and its funding can be found on its website. This ensures that users can trust the information provided by Yuka to make informed decisions about their purchases.
