User reviews

I NEVER Knew!!!

I had NO idea that our food and water contained so many harmful chemicals! Using this app has been an eye opener! I was plenty surprised that my Smucker’s Strawberry Preserve, in a glass jar, safely made the cut! I highly recommend!

Convenient App

This app is clutch to have if you are concerned about having control over your health outcomes. One of my favorite alkaline waters was in the high range and will effect my choice to buy it again. This is a strong app: no glitches, and no incorrect data.

Makes me feel way better about what I eat

I kept seeing stuff about microplastics in food and had no idea what was safe anymore. This app lets you scan anything and it breaks it down for you instantly. I check everything now before I buy it. Honestly didn't think an app like this existed yet.

Simple & Powerful

This app is honestly incredible. I had no idea how much microplastic exposure could be hiding in everyday food until I started using it. The scanner is super easy to use, fast, and makes checking products feel effortless.

It’s made me way more aware of what I’m buying and eating, and I genuinely feel like I’m making healthier choices because of it.
