## What is Processed?

Know what you eat. Track what you improve.

Processed is your AI-powered food scanner and food diary, designed to help you cut back on ultra-processed foods and build healthier habits with every scan.

Your AI food detective
Get instant clarity on what you’re eating. Processed breaks down ingredients and classifies foods as ultra-processed, processed, minimally processed, or whole food using the NOVA classification system and advanced AI analysis.

Scan, detect, avoid
Whether you’re scanning a barcode or snapping a handwritten label, Processed analyzes it instantly to show how processed it really is. Just point, capture, and get the facts.

Just take a photo of your meal
You don’t need a barcode. Snap a photo of your meal and Processed will analyze the ingredients and processing level. Add it directly to your food diary in seconds.

Food Diary to stay accountable
Track your ultra-processed intake daily. Set reduction goals, monitor trends over time, and reflect on your progress without counting calories. Your diary helps you stay intentional about what you eat and how it affects you.

Your scan history, always available
Every scan is saved automatically with the product image, ingredients, processing level, and time of scan. Easily revisit what you’ve eaten and track patterns over time.

Database that learns with you
Our global food database grows with every scan. It becomes smarter and more accurate the more you use it, helping you make better choices, everywhere.

### 2/5 — Not sure I trust this app

*2026-06-25, version 2.7.4*

A supplement I scanned a while back was showing as minimally processed.  After updating the app, it is now ultra processed.  The ingredients have not changed.  Some scans require scan of barcode and then the ingredients (which was the case for this one).  For this particular supplement, it noted the items that made it ultra processed.  For another brand where I only had to scan the bar code (didn’t have to scan ingredients) it said these same ingredients were not a problem.  It actually listed those ingredients in the notes after the scan, too.  I will attach 2 app captures if I’m able.

### 5/5 — Very helpful app
