Yuka, the app that analyzes food and cosmetics
The more information we have about foods and different products, the more we care about what they contain. This is normal since, although they are adding less and less things, many have additives and agents that are not too he althy. And if that worries you, there are iPhone apps that can help you detect them. In this case, your best ally is the app Yuka
As soon as we open the app and register, we will see that the app tells us to point the camera at the barcode of a food or cosmetic. As soon as we carry out this option we will begin to obtain information from it.
This app that analyzes food claims to be completely independent and objective in its product analysis:
We will see a score ranging from Poor to Excellent, with points from 0 to 100The more points the better the product. And we can see the reason why it is good or bad. In the foods the amount of saturated fats, calories, s alt, etc., and in cosmetics all chemicals according to their he alth risk.
Product Scan
At the bottom of the app we have various sections. The first, History is the one that allows us to see the scanned products. Secondly, Alternatives suggests better alternatives to the Bad and Mediocre products we have scanned.
Finally there is SynthesisHere we will see a graph that shows us the proportion of Excellent, Good, Mediocre and Bad food and cosmetics that we have scanned, being able to access all of them quickly. We can also carry out searches for specific products that we do not have at our disposal.

The application can be downloaded for free, although it includes an annual subscription for €14.99, and they claim to be completely independent. That is why we should not worry about obtaining biased information since they are objective in their analysis. We can't do more than recommend you download it.
