Picky: Food Ingredient Scanner

Picky tells you what's really inside your food. Point your camera at a barcode and get a clear answer in seconds: looks clean, heads up, or skip it.

WHY PICKY
• One tap, one answer. Green, amber or red, no scores to decode.
• Every flag explained. See exactly which ingredient triggered it and why it matters, in one plain sentence.
• Your rules, not ours. Turn off what you don't care about, switch on your allergens.
• Ingredients highlighted. The full ingredient list with the problem items marked in color.
• Nutri-Score A–E and calories for 100 g, a portion or the whole pack.
• Family profiles. Set allergens for each person and choose who you're shopping for.
• Cleaner picks. Better products from the same shelf that pass everyone's filters.

NO BARCODE? TAKE A PHOTO
Picky reads the ingredient list and the nutrition table from a photo, right on your iPhone, and shows only what it could read clearly.
