Know what’s really inside your food before you eat it. MavYa is a food label scanner, ingredient scanner and UPF scanner for packaged foods. Scan a food barcode, ingredient list or nutrition label to understand ingredients, additives, allergens, nutrition and processed or ultra-processed food indicators in seconds. Use the food barcode scanner while shopping, or scan food ingredients and labels directly when barcode information is unavailable or incomplete. Whether you’re shopping at a UK supermarket or your local grocery shop, MavYa helps you make more informed food choices for yourself and your family. SCAN PROCESSED FOODS & LABELS Use MavYa’s food barcode scanner for product lookups, or photograph the ingredient list or nutrition table. If barcode information is missing or incomplete, scan the food label directly.

MavYa’s food ingredient scanner helps explain packaged food ingredients, including: • Preservatives • Artificial colours • Artificial sweeteners • Food additives and E-numbers • Highly processed ingredients When enough label information is available, MavYa calculates a Food Quality Score from 0–100 to help you understand and compare products.
