The app gives a score out of 100 for each product scanned based on how healthy or harmful it may be and offers alternative products which may be healthier. The developers do not sell ads or user data and have a no influence policy which prevents brands from paying to place their products in the app. There is a premium version which is sold on a sliding scale (pay what you want) and it offers the ability to search for products or save the data to search offline and a few other things but the free version is totally functional for checking products at home or at the store.

    I want something like this but scoring brands on how much they shrink their product or reduce the quality of ingredients

      Yeah I’d love one for how restaurants and companies treat their workers. There was a group that made something like that for the NYC area years back I think but I don’t believe it ever took off. I believe it was released by ROC.

    How would this differ from the OpenFoodFacts project, aside from also doing cosmetics

    I haven’t really tried either, just curious

      Not sure. I’ve never heard of that one. I’ll check it out though.
