Salt Scan tells you how much salt and sodium is in your food before you eat it. Scan a barcode, see the numbers in a second, and track your daily intake against your own goal. WHY SODIUM MATTERS Most of the salt we eat is hidden in packaged food. Too much of it raises blood pressure and strains the heart and kidneys. The WHO recommends staying under 5 g of salt (2,000 mg of sodium) a day; most adults eat almost twice that. SCAN. SEE. DECIDE. • Scan any barcode and get the salt and sodium content instantly, with a clear Low / Medium / High rating. • Nutri-Score, calories, sugars, saturated fat, proteins, allergens and additives on the same screen. • No barcode at hand? Search the product by name. TRACK YOUR DAY • Add a portion to your daily journal and watch your salt ring fill up. • Open your journal to see every portion of any day, change an amount or delete it. • Save your sodium to Apple Health if you like (optional, off by default). • Set your own daily goal, from 2 g to 10 g of salt. • Every scan is saved: search your history and keep favorites. • Compare products side by side to pick the better option. MADE FOR PEOPLE WHO WATCH THEIR SALT Whether you manage high blood pressure, follow a low-sodium, DASH, heart-healthy or kidney-friendly diet, or simply want to eat better, Salt Scan gives you the number that matters, right in the aisle. SIMPLE AND FREE • No ads, no tracking. • No account, no sign-up. • Your scans and journal stay on your device. • Free to use. • Available in English, French and Arabic. Light and dark mode. Product data comes from Open Food Facts, the open food database maintained by volunteers worldwide. Accuracy depends on contributions: always check the label before making medical decisions.
