This is this week’s product test: we use and recommend the Yuka app to our patients to become informed about the ingredients in the foods and products they buy.
What is Yuka and why we love it
• Ingredient transparency: Scan a product to see a simple health score based on additives, processing, and nutritional quality.
• Clear guidance: See potential allergens, additives, and nutritional flags in one glance.
• Real-world usefulness: Helps patients make quicker, better-informed choices at the supermarket and online.
How we use Yuka in practice
• Pre-purchase checks: Quick scans before you buy to avoid problematic additives and high-processed ingredients.
• Diet planning support: Helps tailor food selections to inflammatory, gut-friendly, or allergy-conscious dietary goals.
• Education and empowerment: Teaches clients how to read labels beyond front-of-pack claims.
What you’ll see in the app
• Health rating for each product
• Breakdown of ingredients and additives
• Allergen and dietary flags (e.g., gluten-free, vegan)
• Data on processing level and nutritional quality
