Description
◆ 80 MILLION USERS ◆
Yuka scans food, beauty & personal care products to decipher their ingredients and evaluate their impact on your health.
In a world of incomprehensible labels, Yuka provides clarity in one quick scan so you can make clear-sighted purchases.
Yuka uses a simple color code to inform you of the product's impact on your health: excellent, good, mediocre, or poor. You can access a detailed info page for each product, to help you understand its grade.
◆ 4 MILLION FOOD PRODUCTS ◆
Every product is evaluated according to 3 objective criteria: nutritional value, additives, and the organic dimension of the product.
◆ 2 MILLION BEAUTY PRODUCTS ◆
The scoring method relies on analyzing all of the product's ingredients. Every ingredient is assigned a level of risk, based on current scientific research.
◆ BEST PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS ◆
For any product with a negative grade, Yuka will recommend in total independence a similar product that's better for your health as an alternative.
◆ 100% INDEPENDENT ◆
Yuka is a 100% independent application. This means that product evaluations and recommendations are completely objective: no brand or manufacturer can influence them in one way or another. In addition, the application does not advertise. Find out more about our funding on our website.

Comments on Yuka - Food & Cosmetic Scanner for Android
★★★★★julie ann· Aug 22, 2026
Excellent app Yuka makes choosing healthier safer food items so easy and knowing our cosmetics, soaps, hair products, skin care lotions and sunscreen are the safest we can purchase with a 2-second scan is great and free. My partner and I also each purchased the yearly subscription which allows us to search products by name which we use regularly. I was so surprised at how many bad chemicals and additives are in products by manufacturers that were advertised as being 'natural' great job guys
★★★★★Carol Spinney· Aug 20, 2026
Great app for checking how healthy our favorite foods are and make better choices when buying my groceries.
★☆☆☆☆Charles Meyers· Aug 23, 2026
This app gives high scores to high carb processed foods and low scores to healthy single ingredient real foods. Example, hummus gets a 99/100 and yet has 16g carbs for a measly 1/4 cup serving. It also gives 90+ scores to cereal bars and granola bars, which are garbage processed foods. It then gives a score of 0, yes ZERO, to a lean rib-eye steak, that humans have been eating for 2 million years, and has no processing additives. The app is garbage.
★★☆☆☆James LeB· Aug 22, 2026
New phone login pain. I use Google PW manager to create/sync PWs. All PWs are different and don't need to remember any: 1st, Yuka app doesn't use email as a username, prefers to keep blank? 2nd, user credentials auto entered by PW manager aren't accepted (box stays yellow until you manually delete and enter the last letter) 3rd it pulls a saved username but not PW from the manager - why? Forced to reset password which is saved to yuca.Firebase not Yuka then needs to be manually copied to app.
