Is your food really as healthy as it looks? CleanPlate tells you in seconds. Just scan a barcode — or search by name — and CleanPlate shows you exactly how processed that product is, using the NOVA classification system trusted by nutritionists and researchers worldwide. WHAT IS NOVA? NOVA groups every food into one of four categories: • NOVA 1 — Unprocessed or minimally processed (fresh fruit, meat, eggs) • NOVA 2 — Culinary ingredients (olive oil, butter, salt, sugar) • NOVA 3 — Processed foods (canned goods, cheese, cured meats) • NOVA 4 — Ultra-processed foods (soft drinks, packaged snacks, ready meals) Ultra-processed foods (NOVA 4) are scientifically linked to higher risks of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers. CleanPlate makes it effortless to identify them before they go in your basket. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open CleanPlate and point your camera at any barcode 2. CleanPlate checks our database of millions of products instantly 3. See the NOVA grade, additive list, and full ingredients — right on your screen Can't find a product by barcode? Search by name instead and browse results with colour-coded NOVA badges at a glance. UPF CLASSIFIER For products without an official NOVA score, CleanPlate uses a machine-learning classifier trained on ingredient patterns to predict whether a product is ultra-processed. You always know where the data comes from. FREE FEATURES • 5 daily barcode scans • NOVA grade and label for every product • UPF classifier results when NOVA data is missing • Search millions of products by name • Additive count PREMIUM FEATURES ($2.99/month or $19.99/year) • Full additive breakdown with risk levels (low / medium / high) • Complete ingredients list • Scan history — review everything you've scanned • Support independent development DATA Product data comes from OpenFoodFacts, the world's largest open food database with over 3 million products. CleanPlate supplements this with a machine-learning UPF classifier for products that lack a NOVA score. CleanPlate is not a medical app. NOVA classifications are based on food science research and should be used as one tool among many for making informed dietary choices.
