About

5Sugar: The smart sugar check for your grocery shopping – now with an all-new design and AI recipes. Scan barcodes or type in foods to see the sugar content instantly and categorize it with a clear traffic-light system. A modern interface featuring a visual sugar gauge, an all-new lists hub, and AI recipes generated from your scanned foods – complete with a true sugar balance. WHO IS 5SUGAR FOR? • For anyone looking to consciously keep track of sugar in their daily life. • For people with diabetes or pre-diabetes looking for reliable guidance right at the grocery shelf. WHY 5SUGAR? • One number, one limit, one traffic light. No sugarcoating like the Nutri-Score: You instantly see the sugar content per 100 g or 100 ml – and whether the product stays below the fixed 5 g limit. • Visual Sugar Gauge: The progress bar shows you exactly how close your product is to the 5-gram threshold. • Stricter Rating for Drinks: For liquids, just 2.5 g of sugar per 100 ml triggers a yellow rating, and 4.5 g or more turns red. • Two Reliable Data Sources: Open Food Facts (over 3 million products) plus the German Nutrient Database BLS 4.0 – scientific averages from the Max Rubner-Institut for over 7,000 basic ingredients. • Born from Experience: Developed by a founder who has prediabetes himself. WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH 5SUGAR: Scan Barcodes – Unlimited and Without an Account Point your camera at the barcode. You will instantly see the sugar content, progress bar, and traffic light color. No registration, no payment details, no limits. Type In Foods – For Everything Without a Barcode Get reliable values even for unpacked basic ingredients like cucumbers or rolled oats – providing an honest "no data available" instead of guesswork. Visual Sugar Gauge (New in 2.0) The integrated progress bar shows you how much sugar is in the product and where the 5 g limit stands. Green up to 5 g – red above it. All-New Lists Hub (New in 2.0) • History: Your latest scans organized by date blocks with sugar badges right in the row. • Safe List: Your sugar-safe favorite products at a glance. • Shopping Lists: Featuring convenient checkboxes for your next store visit. Simply swipe to delete entries or lists. AI Recipes with a True Sugar Balance (New in 2.0) Select items from your scan history or shopping list – 5Sugar generates a complete cooking recipe with exact amounts, step-by-step instructions, and total duration. The precise sugar balance is calculated server-side using BLS 4.0 and Open Food Facts. Nutritional Values at a Glance Sugar, fat, saturated fatty acids, salt, carbohydrates, and proteins in a clean, readable format. Transparent Labeling BLS values are clearly marked as "BLS 4.0", while estimated values carry the "≈" symbol. If data is missing, we display "no data available" – we never invent zero values. Offline Mode, Community & Privacy Save products and view your history even when you are offline at the supermarket. Missing a product? Report it directly within the app. Full control: Delete your account anytime with a single tap – all data is permanently removed. USE FOR FREE The barcode scanner with the traffic-light system and sugar gauge is permanently free and usable without an account. Creating a free account unlocks the Safe List, shopping lists, and 2 AI recipes per month. PRO & PREMIUM (OPTIONAL) The optional monthly or yearly subscription unlocks even more features: Pro includes an unlimited Safe List, unlimited lists, and 15 AI recipes per month.
