Yuka - Food & Cosmetic Scanner

What Yuka Does

Yuka - Food & Cosmetic Scanner helps shoppers check packaged food and personal-care products by scanning their barcodes. It turns product information into a clear rating, then explains the factors behind that result. The app is suited to people who want a quick way to compare products while shopping, without having to interpret every ingredient list themselves.

Food and Cosmetic Checks

Yuka covers two everyday categories: food and cosmetics. Food evaluations take account of nutritional value, additives and organic status. Cosmetic checks focus on the ingredients used in a product and flag potential concerns based on available scientific research. Users can open the result for more detail instead of relying only on the headline rating.

Useful for Comparing Products

When a product receives a poor result, Yuka can show alternative products with a better evaluation. That makes the app more useful than a simple barcode lookup: shoppers can check one item, understand why it was rated that way and look for another option in the same category. Its color-based results are designed for quick reading in a shop, while the ingredient breakdown gives more context for careful comparisons.
