Store description excerpt

Food or Junk is your pocket-sized junk detector for the grocery aisle. Simply scan a barcode, and our smart engine will instantly break down the ingredients. We cut through the confusing nutrition labels to expose hidden sugars, inflammatory seed oils, and toxic artificial dyes. Stop guessing and start eating clean. Features include: Instant barcode scanning, Keto/Low-GI analysis, and healthier alternative swaps. WHY FOOD OR JUNK? Most nutrition apps show you a maze of numbers and percentages. Food or Junk gives you one clear, instant verdict: Optimal, Caution, or Avoid. No subscriptions. No accounts. No tracking. Just the truth about what is in your food. WHAT WE DETECT - Hidden Sugars We flag sugar, corn syrup, maltodextrin, and other sweeteners that food companies disguise under dozens of different names. If it spikes your blood sugar, we will catch it. - Inflammatory Seed Oils Canola oil, soybean oil, and cottonseed oil are linked to chronic inflammation. We scan every ingredient line so you never unknowingly consume them again. - Toxic Artificial Additives Red 40, Yellow 5, BHT, BHA, and Titanium Dioxide are controversial preservatives and dyes banned in several countries but still common in US grocery stores. We expose them instantly. - High Carb Density We calculate net carbs per 100g — stripping away the deceptive serving size tricks food companies use to make unhealthy foods appear acceptable on labels. - Highly Processed Foods If a product has an ingredient list longer than a paragraph, that alone is a red flag. We flag it automatically. BETTER SWAPS Telling you a food is bad is only half the battle. When Food or Junk detects a highly processed item, it immediately suggests cleaner, smarter alternatives to make your next grocery run effortless. PERFECT FOR • Keto and Low-Carb dieters • Parents wanting to protect their kids from artificial dyes • Clean eating and whole food advocates • Diabetics and pre-diabetics watching hidden sugars • Anyone curious about what they are actually eating HOW IT WORKS Point your iPhone camera at any standard grocery barcode. Our engine instantly queries a global food database to retrieve the full ingredient list and nutritional data. Our proprietary analysis engine — inspired by leading nutritional research - then evaluates the ingredients against a curated list of known harmful substances and carbohydrate thresholds to deliver your verdict in under two seconds. DATA SOURCE Food or Junk is proudly powered by OpenFoodFacts (world.openfoodfacts.org), the world's largest open-source food product database with over 3 million products contributed by a global community of volunteers - think of it as the Wikipedia of food labels. Best coverage in USA, UK, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, and other Western European countries. PRIVACY FIRST We do not require an account. We do not store your scan history.
