Very good app

This app helped me find healthy food

Saves time and removes the tedious guesswork

I found this app very useful for quickly helping me assess the healthiness/nutritional value of a given product. It saves time in, 1) not having to take the time to read the entire label (ie the ingredients and more label content) and, 2) having to take the time to research and learn the ingredients and product aspects that make it less healthy and, 3) providing alternatives without me having to do the research myself.

Very easy to stay healthy

Until I got this app, I didn't even realize how many dangerous chemicals and particles go into the food that I eat on a daily basis. Moreover, how much of the food is potentially killing me every single time I consume it. I'm really happy to be able to stay on top of it and make meaningful progress towards keeping my mind and body healthy.

I love finding the hidden poisons

I love that I found this app off of TikTok as it was advertised to have lab data. The feature works like a charm! App is simple but that’s what I want. Thx!

Good app!

It’s similar to Yuka but actually looks at seed oils plastics and processes. Amazing!
