  • WOAH!!!! LIFE SAVER!!!

    I love this app, so it's informative and simple to use!!!
  • Not Based in Science - Fearmongering

    This app lists sugar (including while it is inside of unprocessed fruit), dates, and citric acid as a “questionable” ingredient and additionally lists canola and soybean oil as “potentially harmful.” This app spreads fearmongering claims about GMO foods without basis. Uses phrasing such as “this ingredient is made of chemicals” when all ingredients are chemical in nature. Cites sources without full context, includes low ratings of foods even when including that there is only anecdotal evidence to show that it is harmful, and ultimately will fuel orthorexia. Dangerous and pointless app. Don’t download.

  • New favorite app

    Absolutely love this app and so impressed by all of the functionality it offers. I thought I was a pro at reading ingredients labels until I got Trash Panda, and now I can see all the questionable ingredients I was missing!
  • No beating around the bush

    Trash Panda allows you to see exactly what your food is made of. There is no hidden meanings just simple, easy to understand results. You may think you’re eating healthy but with the app, you’ll know for sure.
  • Great start

    I like the idea behind this - to automate scanning ingredient lists and help educate me on some of the crazy things in food. But it not quite there. I am hoping they can extend this to allow modifications (I am okay with Honey!) and give an overall score to help me compare two products against each other (1 red is equivalent to how many yellows?) The heart is the in the right place, I am looking forward to the app being able to follow.

  • Makes me understand what I’m putting in my body

    I can hardly pronounce half the ingredients in some labels, this app makes it easy to understand what those complicated ingredients generally do and even gives you resources to make your own judgment. Knowledge is power! I use this every time I see an essay written for ingredients.
  • Smarter Shopping. Healthier life.

    Having this in my pocket as we shop for food has been a life saver. It is helping us make smarter decisions with what we consume and the brands we trust. This is a must have for everyone that want to know what is in the products they buy.
