Comments on NHS Food Scanner for Android

★★★★★ Andrew Butcher · Jan 13, 2026

Great app for checking food items for fat and sugar.

★★★★★ Beverley Brown · Mar 6, 2025

This app tells me how good or bad the products I buy are for me. It's really good. I can also see how much sugar, fat and salt are inmost products.

★★★★☆ Ziggy Newman · May 20, 2025

Good app but misleading at times. Overall this is a helpful app for making healthy choices when it comes to diet. However, it completely misses harmful artificial sweeteners (which are worse than sugar) and implies that Coke Zero and sugar-free fizzy drinks are nutritious choices when they are far from it. Overall a great app but I would expand on the traffic light system to include artificial sweeteners so better health choices can be made overall.

★☆☆☆☆ J H · Jan 14, 2026

Doesn't recognize most of the food I've scanned, so really it's a waste of NHS money and just useless.

★☆☆☆☆ Manfred · Jan 9, 2026

An interesting and potentially useful app that provides basic "Traffic Lights" for Sugar, Sat fat and Salt. However, Swaps advice ignores UPF completely, so is potentially harmful. The first two products I scanned were a "borderline" NOVA4 Shepherd's Pie (the one UPF being Yeast Extract) and a NOVA3 (UPF-free) Thai Green Chicken Curry. AI told me they were high-quality real foods, but this app suggested I should swap both of them for alternative products that were NOVA4 UPFs on multiple counts.

Do not download this app as it's garbage, doesn't recognize half of the products you scan
