Incorrect food reviews

I’ve been doing research over the years and this app is very inaccurate. Firstly, why wouldn’t you include pesticides, microplastics, and heavy metals into your food ratings?? A product should not be 100/100 if it includes pesticides, such as chlormequat, which is terrible for the male reproductive system. This specific product isn’t even organic/ USDA CERTIFIED, which means chemicals were used on the product. What’s the point of this app if heavy metals and pesticides aren’t included in the overall rating?? I suggest no one to buy this app until they fix this! I will be canceling my free trial.

Ok but misleading

I had high hopes for this but having used it for a couple of weeks - I got caught in the free trial fiasco so ended up paying £30 for the year which I didn’t really want to do. However, one of the first things I looked up was Hovis seeded seven seeds bread. The results were unexpected to say the least. The same bread had multiple scores ranging from green, good to red, bad, and everything in between. Not good. The Yuka app is better and cheaper.
