Yuka

Yuka is designed to help consumers make informed choices about their food and cosmetic products. By scanning product barcodes, the app analyzes their composition and evaluates health effects using a scoring system ranging from 0 to 100. Products are categorized as “excellent,” “good,” “mediocre,” or “poor.”  

Key Features:

• Independent Evaluations: Yuka operates with complete independence from brands and manufacturers, ensuring unbiased product assessments. Funding is derived from optional premium subscriptions and the sale of a seasonal produce calendar, with no advertising influence.  

• Detailed Analyses: The app offers comprehensive insights into the nutritional quality of food items, the presence of additives, and potential risks associated with cosmetic ingredients, such as endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, allergens, or irritants.  

• Healthier Alternative Recommendations: When a scanned product is deemed harmful, Yuka suggests similar but healthier alternatives to guide better purchasing decisions.  

• User-Friendly Interface: With a simple scanning feature, users can quickly assess product quality and receive immediate feedback.  

Available for both iOS and Android devices, Yuka has assisted millions of users worldwide in improving their dietary and personal care habits. The app promotes awareness of healthy product choices and encourages informed consumption.
