You'd need a chemistry degree, a food science journal subscription, and about 10 free minutes per product. Most people give up after the first word they can't pronounce. That's exactly what food companies count on.
Great for tracking macros and calories. Not built for ingredient safety. They'll tell you a product has 14g of protein but won't mention it also has titanium dioxide, a suspected carcinogen banned in the EU since 2022.
Built from scratch for one purpose: making ingredient transparency instant, plain, and actionable. Scan any barcode, get a plain-English rating, see what's flagged and why, and find a cleaner alternative — in 3 seconds.
