ABOUT YOUR UPF PERCENTAGE Foods are grouped by processing level using the NOVA classification system. Your UPF percentage is the number of ultra-processed food items divided by the number of classified food items. For example, 3 out of 10 items means 30%. Each receipt item counts once, regardless of price or quantity. Non-food and unclassified items are excluded; unclassified foods can be reviewed in the app. This percentage does not measure calories or overall nutritional quality. AI results can make mistakes, so review your scanned receipts. FREE PLAN Scan up to US$400 in total receipt value each calendar month. The receipt that reaches the allowance is included.
