Eating well shouldn't require a nutrition degree. Most healthy-eating advice asks you to learn everything at once — macros, calories, labels, portion sizes — and then keep it up every day, forever. Most people give up before they start. Not because they don't care, but because they have no idea where to begin. So begin with one rule: no added sugar. It's the single change that quietly removes most ultra-processed food from your life without you having to learn anything else first. Follow that one rule and the rest reveals itself. SugarFlag exists to make that one rule easy to keep. HOW IT WORKS Take a photo of any product — the front of the pack, the back, whatever you can see. AI reads what's there and tells you whether sugar was added. 1. Open SugarFlag 2. Point your camera at the product 3. Take the photo, or choose one from your library 4. Get a clear answer in seconds No barcode to find. No database to match. No hunting for an ingredients list printed in 6-point type. ONE CLEAR ANSWER No calorie counting. No macro tracking. No score out of 100. Just: - No Added Sugar - Contains Added Sugar Plus a short explanation naming exactly which ingredients are the added sugars, so you learn as you go. ADDED SUGAR HIDES It appears under dozens of names: glucose syrup, maltodextrin, dextrose, invert sugar, barley malt, fruit juice concentrate, rice syrup, molasses, cane juice, and many more. Even products labelled "natural", "high protein" or "no refined sugar" often contain it. That is the whole problem. You cannot follow a rule you cannot verify. SugarFlag verifies it for you. YOUR SCAN HISTORY Every scan is saved, so you can look back at what you have checked, remember which brands passed, and shop faster next time. Delete any single scan, or your entire history, whenever you want. PRIVACY We only process the photos you choose to scan. Your history belongs to you and can be deleted at any time, in part or in full. SUBSCRIPTION SugarFlag Pro is a subscription, and it unlocks unlimited scans. - Monthly - Annual, which includes a 3-day free trial Prices are shown in the app in your local currency. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store account settings. WHO IT IS FOR - Anyone who wants to eat better but doesn't know where to start - People cutting back on added sugar - Parents checking what is actually in the weekly shop - Anyone tired of squinting at ingredients lists Start with one rule. The rest follows. For more information, visit sugarflag.com Privacy Policy: sugarflag.com/privacy Terms of Service: sugarflag.com/terms Support: info@sugarflag.com
