Store description excerpt
PROCESSED FOOD CHECKER See how processed your food really is - from any ingredient list. This App gives you a clear processing score - even when there’s no barcode or database entry. It uses the internationally recognised NOVA 1–4 scale, which classifies foods based on their level of processing - from whole foods (Group 1) to ultra-processed products (Group 4). Most food apps rely entirely on barcode databases. Our App goes further. Simply scan or enter an ingredient list, and our machine learning model analyses the ingredient composition to predict the most likely NOVA Group. Whether you’re shopping, cooking, or analysing packaged foods at home, you can understand ultra-processed foods (UPFs) in seconds. A free trial is available. A subscription is required for continued access after the trial. HOW YOU CAN ANALYSE FOOD Choose the method that works best: • Scan a barcode (UK products supported) • Search for a product by name • Scan an ingredient list using text recognition (OCR) • Enter ingredients manually No barcode? Not in the database? No problem. If you can access the ingredient list, our App can analyse it. WHAT YOU’LL SEE • Predicted NOVA Group (1–4) • Ingredient and additives count • Full ingredient list (cleaned and structured) • Additives and E-numbers • Functional additive groups (emulsifiers, preservatives, antioxidants, etc.) • Clear explanations for additive categories and E-numbers HOW IT WORKS 1. Ingredients power the analysis When you scan a barcode or search for a product, the app retrieves ingredient data from a back-end database. Source data is provided by Open Food Facts, a public, community-driven food database, and is refined by our analysis system. If ingredient data is missing, you can simply type or scan the ingredient list yourself. 2. Our algorithm predicts the NOVA Group Using the available ingredients, a machine learning model predicts the most likely NOVA Group. The model was trained on nearly 100,000 food and drink products from the UK and US, along with more than 10,000 ingredients, to recognise common processing patterns. In testing, it achieved around 97% overall accuracy across NOVA groups. 3. Analysis based on composition - not marketing The system evaluates ingredient composition, not front-of-pack claims or branding. WHY IT’S DIFFERENT Most apps tell you whether a product exists in a database. Our App evaluates the ingredients themselves. That means you can analyse: • Store-brand products • Imported foods • Newly released products • Foods not yet in any barcode database If it has an ingredient list, it can be analysed. IMPORTANT INFORMATION This App provides informational insights only and does not offer medical or dietary advice. Predictions are based on available ingredient data and statistical modelling. Results may vary depending on ingredient completeness and formatting. SUBSCRIPTION & FREE TRIAL This app offers a 3-day free trial with full access to all fe
