Comments on Yuka - Food & Cosmetic Scanner for Android

★★★★★ Vikki Irving · Jul 4, 2026

Excellent app, use it all the time. I find it very reliable and trustworthy for all beauty and food information. Also love that it recommends alternatives to items that you've scanned so that you can find cleaner and healthier options.

★★★★★ Kenets Kostucenko · Jun 29, 2026

I've been using Yuka for a while now, and it's completely changed the way I shop. The app makes it so easy to scan products and instantly understand what's really in them, whether it's food or cosmetics. I love that it gives clear explanations rather than just a score, helping me make healthier and more informed choices.

★☆☆☆☆ lebbum - · Jun 23, 2026

I used to be on the clean beauty trend. I found out that a lot of what's considered "bad" is bunk science. None of these "dangerous" ingredients are actually used at a high enough exposure to affect you in any meaningful way. The studies cited haven't had their results replicated, aren't reflective of real-life situations, or worse, aren't real studies. Risk does not equal hazard. No, Yuka. You don't just "inform" people. You make them fearmonger with misinformation.

★☆☆☆☆ Heidi Burton · Jun 24, 2026

What a stupid app. Just eat whatever you like in moderation...edit, since they emailed me. The app works with most foods but are people really basing their eating habits on this? I downloaded just to see as a friend uses it, naming foods "good" and "bad" is ridiculous. It could create fear of foods thus leading to eating disorders.

★☆☆☆☆ Jack Smith · Jun 25, 2026

Perfect against junk food or dangerous cosmetics. But it doesn't check bad components in food supplements or drugs, I've been exposed to DHA pills containing titanium dioxide without realizing I was killing myself and it won't had happened if this app didn't refuse to expose those products too thus saving more lives. Update: I'm tired of yuka labeling as safe of harmful products, in yellow potential carcinogenic additives (instead of orange or red).

★★☆☆☆ Gmailuser201 · Jun 22, 2026

Scans are quick but there's so much misinformation in the app. Harmless ingredients are flagged with zero science backing. Same products (sundries tomatoes in olive oil) receive vastly different scores based on brand despite no preservatives. Why is bottled water rated lower than vegetable oil?
