Ultra-Processed?
Mats Amlie
Wondering whether a packaged food is ultra-processed? Ultra-Processed? scans an EAN or UPC barcode and shows the product's available NOVA processing group with a short, plain-language explanation. Features: - Scan a packaged-food barcode with the camera or enter it manually. - Search by product name and choose from matching product variants. - See whether available Open Food Facts data places the product in NOVA group 4. - Understand all four NOVA processing groups in plain language. - Review the ingredient list directly below the NOVA result. - Open source-supplied NOVA 4 markers for a short explanation. - See up to three verified category-based NOVA 1–3 comparisons when available. - Review the product name, brand, source date, and data-quality warnings when available. - Open the source record on Open Food Facts. - Get an honest "Unknown" result when the source does not provide usable data. NOVA describes the nature and purpose of food processing. It is not a nutrition score, medical diagnosis, or medical advice. Open Food Facts is community-maintained, so records may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. Product lookup requires an internet connection. Ultra-Processed? has no account, advertising, developer analytics, tracking, or developer-stored scan or search history. Camera recognition happens on your iPhone. Product searches, barcode lookups, marker explanations, and alternative-product requests are sent securely to Open Food Facts. Open Food Facts may log the request and network information under its own privacy policy.
