PantryScore turns the barcode on any packaged food into a single 0–100 score backed by established public nutrition databases and a transparent, science-based methodology. How it works Point your camera at a barcode and PantryScore pulls the product's full ingredient list, nutrition facts, additive profile, and processing classification, then runs them through a three-pillar model. Everything happens on-device after the lookup. There is no account to create and no profile to fill out. Restaurants — not just packaged food PantryScore covers thousands of restaurant menu items too. Search a chain, tap a dish, and see the same honest 0–100 score, the same allergen flags, the same per-serving macro breakdown. From fast food to sit-down chains, you finally get to compare what's actually on your plate against what you'd buy at the grocery store. The score Every product is scored on three pillars: — Nutritional quality (75%) compares the per-serving macros against established daily-intake guidelines from the WHO and the American Heart Association, calibrated against the Nutri-Score scale. — Additive load (20%) flags red-tier (banned or restricted in some jurisdictions), orange-tier (linked to inflammatory or metabolic concerns), and yellow-tier (commonly used but worth knowing) additives, and applies the NOVA processing classification. — Ingredient quality (5%) reads the ingredient text for refined sweeteners, hydrogenated fats, and ultra-processed markers. The result is a number that means something: a fresh apple scores in the 90s, a soda scores in the teens, and a fruit-and-nut bar with no added sugar lands in between rather than getting punished for "being packaged". Honesty principles Whole-fruit products are not penalised for natural sugar. Olive oil, honey, and maple syrup show authenticity guidance instead of a score because they are too often adulterated to score fairly. Restaurant dishes are classified by preparation method (grilled vs fried) rather than blanket-labelled as ultra-processed. What it shows you Per-serving nutrition that matches the label on the package or the menu. Allergen detection across the nine major U.S. allergens — for both groceries and restaurants. A glossary that explains every additive in plain English. Favorites and history kept on-device. What it does not do No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No third-party analytics. No data sold or shared. Your camera feed never leaves your phone. PantryScore is informational. It is not medical advice and does not replace guidance from a registered dietitian or physician.

Halal Maps's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.2). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
