You just scan the bar code of any product you are thinking of buying, and YUKA will tell you every poison in that product.
You don't just use the "score" of the product. For example, no corn chip or potato chip will have a great score, since they're loaded with fat and salt. But you knew that before you scanned it. What you are wanting to know is whether the chips have deadly additives - many do. If it says Frito, it does.
So you get a smidge more granular by pushing a button and looking at the additive count, and then you get more granular still by looking at the individual additives and their risk factors.
It sounds daunting, but it takes only seconds to confirm a good product, and a few seconds more to find out whether the additives are literally carcinogenic.

this app identifies additives that are unpronounceable
salt and fat are easy to read on a label, and I know what they are
additives … not so much

Much of it was perfectly edible before processed.
Is it going to put itself out of business?

I don't get the desire for processed foods...
I don't think you can hide additives..Mrkelly » 9 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ not the point
point is to help people avoid hidden additives in everyday foods
They list themBlackvegetable » 9 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ I don't think you can hide additives..
You have to list them
I've been reading labels for 35 years. As a consequence I eat very little processed food.
Ingredients must be listed in order of volume...after you read labels for a while, you figure out that the polysyllabics at the end of the list are "non food".Mrkelly » 5 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ They list them
but most people don’t know what they are
the app is not about processed foods
its about everyday foods that you might not expect to have harmful additives in them
and it gives alternatives that are more healthy
fer example
one of our whole grain wheat breads had an additive that is bad for you
not all long named additives are bad for you
this app helps you to know which is which
Im happy that you have such a vast knowledge on all ingredients
most of us don’t
