## What is BARE?

Your food, understood. BARE scans any grocery barcode into an instant 0-100 health score built around YOUR body, then plans your whole week of clean dinners. One app, from the aisle to the dinner table.

** A paid subscription is required to access scanning, scoring, the meal planner, your Cupboard, and all other in-app features. A 3-day free trial is included with any new subscription. **

Most food apps give everyone the same generic answer. BARE is personal. It knows your allergies, diet, goals, and blood type, so every score and every meal is about you, not a label written by the brand trying to sell it.

HOW IT WORKS
Point your camera at any product barcode
BARE reads the ingredients and scores them in seconds
See a 0-100 score with the red flags called out for YOUR body
Save winners to your Cupboard, then let BARE plan the week around them
No squinting. No googling. No more guessing in the aisle.

FEATURES (all require an active paid subscription)

Personalized Health Scores (subscription required)
Every product gets a clean 0-100 score with an Excellent / Good / Limit / Avoid label, tuned to your allergies, diet, and goals. Decide in two seconds whether it belongs in your kitchen.

AI Weekly Meal Planner (subscription required)
Tell BARE your store, your budget, and what your body needs. It builds a full Monday-to-Sunday week of clean dinners with macros, estimated prices, and an aisle-by-aisle shopping list. Swap any meal you do not love and save unlimited plans.

Personalized For You (subscription required)
Set your allergies, dietary style, health goals, and blood type once. BARE factors them into every scan and every meal plan, and flags what matters for you.

The Cupboard (subscription required)

### 5/5 — Life changing

*2026-07-11*

Great app that’s been helping me avoid toxic chemicals in our food like the plague …Would definitely recommend to anyone who cares about their health.

### 5/5 — CEO Multinational Investment Group Florida Inc/ Former Candidate for Congress GA-13 District

*2026-07-11*

As a former candidate for Georgia's 13th Congressional District, former Chief of Staff to a Georgia State Representative, and former appointee in international trade and investment roles with leaders in Dubai and Liberia, being the only person in the Nation appointed to three countries at one time. 
I recognize the importance of protecting public health through responsible trade this app is an instrument in this space.

With growing concerns over food safety and class action lawsuits involving companies such as Gerber, Kellogg's, Post Consumer Brands, Tyson Foods $86.7 million lawsuit, and other major food manufacturers, citizens and government officials alike need reliable information about the products we consume. For example, lawsuits against Gerber have raised concerns about heavy metals in baby food, Kellogg's has faced scrutiny over artificial additives in cereals, Post Consumer Brands has been questioned regarding labeling transparency, and Tyson Foods has dealt with litigation related to product safety and contamination risks. The Bare App provides real-time ingredient information that helps consumers make informed decisions while giving policymakers and diplomats another tool to evaluate food safety and trade issues.

Many countries have already restricted or banned certain food additives that remain available elsewhere; for instance, the European Union has banned several artificial food dyes that are still permitted in the United States called Red Dye 3. 

I highly recommend the Bare App to citizens, elected and appointed officials, and diplomats. Diplomacy starts with trade and we should never trade the citizens safety and health for monetary profits.
