YUKA is a mobile app that scans food and cosmetic products to provide information on the health impact of the products you use.

How are food products rated ?

Yuka’s food product scores are based on three criteria:

Nutritional quality is 60% of the score. – This method takes into account: calories, sugar, salt, saturated fats, protein, fiber, fruits and vegetables.

The presence of additives is 30% of the score. – We take into account the recommendations of the EFSA, and the IARC, in addition to numerous independent studies. Every additive is assigned a risk level based on various existing studies: risk-free (green dot), limited risk (yellow dot), moderate risk (orange dot), hazardous (red dot).

The organic dimension is 10% of the score. – This is for products considered organic, i.e. those with an official national or international organic label. They avoid chemical pesticides which can pose a health risk.
