  • Love

    Love this app. Use it all time and recommend it to my clients.
  • Great App

    The best app for watching what ingredients you’re eating. It is so informative and true. Thank You to the developer. I love this app.
  • Love the new lists

    My whole family is changing our diet and cutting out foods with certain ingredients. As we try new things, some of the food we love and some of it we hate. It’s super convenient to be able to scan something that we like and then put it in a list so we know to get it again. Love the app, use it all the time.

    So glad to hear Trash Panda has been helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a glowing review 🥰
  • Very informative

    I’ve only had one item not scan and that may have been a glitch on my end. Gives descriptions and definitions for various ingredients you may be u familiar with. Love this app!
  • Helpful

    This is my first time using this app and it is so helpful cause I’m taking baby steps to begin healthy lifestyle and vegan as well
  • Instant valuable info

    Love Trash Panda! No longer standing around in grocery aisles trying to read tiny print and evaluating for health. Yay!
  • This App will not help you eat healthier

    This app has two basic call outs for “bad” ingredients (1) problematic and (2) questionable. This two tier system is a little too simple for an app and has one major flaw - it identifies added sugar as questionable and not problematic. The ingredient, added sugar, that is the main driver behind the majority of chronic disease in America is “questionable” and not “problematic”?

    This app leans into the obfuscation of nutrition where preservatives are more demonized than the huge amounts of sugar being added to our diets - the causality is clear. This system allows companies to sell sugar loaded products that are given a “health washing,” because they are “natural”

    For example, their bbq article recommends Noble Made by the New Primal’s BBQ Sauce, which uses Pineapple Juice as a main ingredient. Pineapple Juice is mainly fructose and should be avoided in any healthy diet, as fructose is not metabolized by the body and goes right to the liver, causing fatty liver disease (among many other problems).

    Nutrition science is becoming clear. This app is not.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are currently working on a different way to flag added sugar. We appreciate you checking out the app and if you have any other thoughts, we would love to hear them at hello@trashpandaapp.com.
  • Grocery store concierge!

    Must have for checking out the new stuff at Trader Joes and Costco 👀
  • Great utility and educational

    It barely takes seconds to open Trash Panda and scan items in the grocery store. The app has almost every product and shows you exactly what's going into it - with scientific research to prove it. Love Trash Panda.
  • Life changing!

    Consumer consciousness is so important and this app is at the heart of it. I feel way more knowledgeable about what I’m putting in my body with Trash Panda. I’ve always been interested in the marketing of certain foods as healthy for corporate gain. Information is everything!
