Product Positioning & Context

◆ 80 MILLION USERS ◆

Yuka is a free mobile app that allows you to scan the barcodes of food and personal care products and instantly see their impact on your health. A rating and detailed information help you understand the analysis of each product.

When a product has a negative impact on your health, Yuka also recommends similar but healthier alternative products.

◆ A 100% INDEPENDENT PROJECT ◆

Yuka is a 100% independent project : product reviews and recommendations of healthier alternatives are done in an objective way. No brand or manufacturer can influence them in one way or another. Furthermore, there is no in-app advertising. You can access detailed information on our business model on our website (www.yuka.io).

◆ 6 MILLION REFERENCED PRODUCTS ◆

Yuka established a database that contains 4 million food products and 2 million cosmetic products.

Each food product is evaluated according to 3 objective criteria: nutritional quality, presence of additives and organic aspect of the product.

The method to analyse cosmetic products is based on the analysis of all the ingredients of the product. Each ingredient is assigned a risk level according to the latest scientific data.

I never go shopping without my Yuka app. This is my third year of subscribing to this app and it’s worth every penny. Minimal mistakes and if you find one, they’ll make corrections. It’s our responsibility to be our own advocates of what goes in our bodies and on our hair and skin. This is one of the best tools in my toolbox.

Great info and easy to use. Still using the unpaid version but it’s super helpful - real human that’s just a regular guy actually using the app not a bot

OK, so for anyone who is reading this I highly recommend getting this app. It is so useful
To get a rating on food and cosmetics and drinks 📝

It’s also free and there are in app purchases, but it doesn’t force you to purchase anything and also it gives you a lot of stuff for free as well 😁

Another thing I also love is if you scan a cosmetic or food/drink that has something bad in it it shows information and you can read about the things it has so you can literally learn too!🥰

So to whoever made this app, thank you very much ❤️❤️❤️

I pray that anyone who reads this has a very very blessed life. God in Jesus love you so much thank you for taking the time to read this! 🙏🏼🌷☀️❤️

I think this app is extremely useful, especially for US users where regulation of dangerous food additives is very lax (e.g. considered harmless unless shown to be harmful). I was shocked how bad was the products I regularly ate!! A must have.

I absolutely positively love this app. It makes it so much easier to make good food choices.. I love that. It not only tells me food is good or bad but tells me why.

I will never buy any beauty product or processed food item again in my life w out scanning it here first! And I will continue to help enter products that don’t scan! Please see my TIk Tok page where I use your app to recommend products, & debunk products. Jennifer… be ungovernable is my page name. Would love to work w your app on a sponsorship level!

Helping you avoid toxic products.
We sell Clarity Cosmetics skin cream and it blows away the rest of the toxic products on the market and now Yuka helps us prove it.

Thank you for making this app. I’m so glad it was shared with me.

This app made shopping for the healthy foods as opposed to those with GMO’s, high salt content, countless additives. A quick scan told me all I needy to make the proper selection. Many thanks !

Love using this app to make a more informed decision on what to consume. Quite surprising on what is allowed in food here in the US. Definitely recommend using this app if you want to know more or make an informed decision on your diet.
