FOOD & PERSONAL CARE
There ’ s an App for That
Need help deciphering which foods and products are a-okay for your health and the planet? These two apps do the hard work for you.
Yuka
Yuka is a 100% independent app that allows users to scan the barcodes of food and cosmetic products to learn about the health impacts on a scale from 0-100. It rates products on additives, sugar, calories, sodium, fiber, protein, and saturated fat. The scan feature is free and simple to use, but you’ll have to upgrade to use the search tool.
EWG Healthy living app
Similarly to Yuka, this app rates more than 120,000 food and personal care products on a scale from 1 (best) to 10 (worst) based on nutrition, ingredient concerns, and its best estimate on food processing. You can scan items—though the scan function can be finicky—or search on the free app.
