Features
Everything you need to eat with confidence
Built around the questions you actually ask in the supermarket aisle.
Check any food with a quick scan
Point the camera at any barcode and instantly see everything you need to know — a score, seed oils, additives, added sugars and processing level.
Dive deeper into additives
Tap any additive to read what it's used for, the effects it may have on your body, its risk level, and independent studies that back it up.
Spot seed oils, sugars & toxins
Refined seed oils, palm oil, added and synthetic sugars are all flagged the moment they appear in an ingredient list.

Personalized to your body
Tell Scanly the foods you avoid, your allergens and dietary needs — and it flags matching ingredients every time you scan.
Unbiased by design
We don't partner with any brand or product, and we never take money to change a score. Every result is on your side.
The score
One honest number, backed by science
Every product starts at 100 points. We adjust from there based on what's actually inside — never on who's paying.

What moves the score
Ingredients
We read the full ingredient list and flag the ones linked to health concerns.
Additives
Each additive is weighed by its risk level and subtracts points accordingly.
Processing level
We estimate how processed a product is — ultra-processed foods lose the most points.
Added sugars & oils
Added sugars, refined seed oils and palm oil each lower the score when present.
Positive signals
Quality labels like organic, and a higher share of fruits, vegetables and nuts, add points back.
Additives, by risk level
We classify every additive into four groups based on scientific research. The higher the risk, the more points it subtracts.
High risk
Linked to serious health concerns. Often restricted and generally recommended to avoid.
Medium risk
May cause health issues for some individuals. Best to reduce when possible.
Low risk
Generally safe, but may cause mild effects in sensitive individuals. Use in moderation.
Risk-free
Considered safe for regular use, with no reported health concerns.
Our method draws on trusted, independent sources
