The Food Scanner is your personal assistant to get detailed information about food products. The program Food Scanner is extremely easy to use: you just need to select a product, put its Barcode in the scan field and the program automatically reads the data, providing you with all the necessary information about the nutritional value of the product in return. Whice information about products we provide? * Nutri-Score - Healthy Food Degree * Food Category * Ingredients * Presence of allergens * Nutritional value of the product (kcal / fat in low / saturated fat / sugar / salt) * Food classification system NOVA based on the level of processing More about NOVA : ** NOVA Group 1 - Unprocessed or minimally processed foods (fruit, vegetables, eggs, meat, milk, etc.) ** NOVA Group 2 - Foods processed in the kitchen with the aim of extending their shelf life. In practice, these are ingredients to be used in the kitchen such as fats, aromatic herbs, etc. to be kept in jars or in the refrigerator to be able to use them later. ** NOVA Group 3 - Processed foods. These are the foods obtained by combining foods of groups 1 and 2 to obtain the many food products for domestic use (bread, jams, etc.) made up of a few ingredients ** NOVA Group 4 - Ultra-processed foods. They are the ones that use many ingredients including food additives that improve palatability, processed raw materials (hydrogenated fats, modified starches, etc.) and ingredients that are rarely used in home cooking such as soy protein or mechanically separated meat. These foods are mainly of industrial origin and are characterized by a good pleasantness and the fact that they can be stored for a long time. Ultra-processed foods are typically energy-dense products, containing high amounts of sugars, unhealthy fats, and salt. They are also typically low in nutritional content such as dietary fibres, proteins, vitamins, and minerals. The Food Scanner app will help you choose the right foods for you and your loved ones.

CHECK FOOD PROCESSING LEVEL FROM ONE PHOTO ProcessedCheck helps you quickly understand how processed a food, ingredient list, nutrition label, or package appears to be. Take a photo and get a clear processing score with a short, practical explanation. FAST FOOD DECISIONS Food choices can be confusing. Ingredient lists get long, package claims sound healthy, and it is not always obvious whether a snack, meal, or packaged product is close to whole food or heavily processed. ProcessedCheck turns one photo into a simple processing-level check so you can decide faster at home, in a store, or before a meal. MADE FOR FOOD, LABELS, AND PACKAGES Use ProcessedCheck with: - Meals and snacks - Packaged foods - Ingredient lists - Nutrition labels - Food packages - Simple whole-food plates The result focuses on visible clues such as ingredient length, refined items, additives, package cues, and whole-food appearance. SIMPLE RESULTS Each scan gives you: - A processing score from 0 to 10 - A clear label such as Ultra, Moderate, or Minimal - A short explanation of the main visible reason - A saved scan in your history No long lecture. Just a fast result that is easy to understand. TRACK WHAT YOU SCAN ProcessedCheck saves your scans so you can compare foods, remember label checks, and build a clearer picture of what you eat over time. History is helpful when you want to look back at products, compare similar snacks, or remember which foods looked simpler. BEST USED WITH CLEAR PHOTOS For best results, use a well-lit photo with the food, package, or ingredient list clearly visible. If a label is shown, make sure the text is readable. ProcessedCheck is a practical food processing-level helper. It is not medical advice, nutrition counseling, allergy advice, or a replacement for professional guidance. FEATURES - Instant food processing checks - Works with meals, packages, and nutrition labels - Clear score from 0 to 10 - Simple processing labels - Short practical explanations - Saved scan history - Camera and gallery support - Clean dark interface MAKE FOOD CHECKS SIMPLER Download ProcessedCheck and get a quick read on whether food, labels, and packages look ultra-processed, moderate, or closer to whole.
