## What is SnackWise?

Know what's really in your food.

SnackWise turns the confusing fine print on the back of the package into a clear, honest answer. Snap a photo of any packaged food and SnackWise reads the label for you, surfacing the additives, dyes, seed oils, and ingredients worth questioning, then giving you a simple health score from 1 to 100.

Calories and macros don't tell the whole story. SnackWise looks at what's actually in your food and explains it in plain language the whole family can understand.

WHAT SNACKWISE DOES

• Scans the front and back of any packaged food in seconds • Reads the ingredient list and nutrition facts for you • Flags artificial dyes, additives, and preservatives for review • Identifies refined seed oils (canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, and more) • Alerts you when a product contains an ingredient banned or restricted in other markets • Calls out ultra-processed markers and ingredients worth questioning • Gives every product a clear 1 to 100 health score with an easy Healthy, Okay, or Yikes rating

HOW IT WORKS

1. Tap Scan and photograph the front of the package
2. Photograph the back label (ingredients and nutrition)
3. Get your score, a friendly summary, and a breakdown of the top concerns

YOUR TOP CONCERNS, FRONT AND CENTER

Instead of burying you in a wall of chemical names, SnackWise leads with what matters most. It ranks the biggest red flags first, labeled High Risk, Moderate Concern, or Worth Reviewing, with a short, plain-English reason for each, then tucks the smaller stuff into a quick "other concerns" list.

A SCORE YOU CAN TRUST

Every score is built from four factors:

• Seed oils and artificial additives • Concerning ingredients • Organic authenticity • Nutrition balance

We use careful, responsible language. Ingredients are described as "linked to" or "associated with" certain concerns, or "flagged for review," never sweeping medical claims, so you get the context to make your own call.

BUILT FOR REAL LIFE

• Save every scan to your history and search it anytime • Revisit any product for the full breakdown • Private Mode keeps a scan off your saved history when you want it to

SNACKWISE PREMIUM

Go deeper on the products you scan. Premium unlocks:

• Banned & restricted ingredient details — see exactly which ingredients are banned or restricted in other markets, and where • Deep ingredient insights — plain-language research context on the ingredients worth questioning

Available monthly or annually.

Whether you're avoiding seed oils, watching for artificial dyes, steering clear of ultra-processed foods, or just trying to eat a little cleaner, SnackWise helps you shop with confidence, one scan at a time.

### 5/5 — Food shock!

*2026-07-17*

I scanned a lot of different foods and come to find out a lot of the “healthy” foods out there are actually shocking and not as great for us as we thought. This app helped break down things in an easier way for me to understand how to read it as well!

### 5/5 — Great Idea

*2026-07-17*

I’ve been needing an app like this to help read between the lines when reading ingredient labels.   Its awesome to be able to see if its truly organic, gmo or if it has any red flags for unhealthy ingredients.  Highly recommend
