TiGERS, use this neat FOOD App to save your belly or life!

It’s YUKA which rates Food products (and cosmetics) and its installed app logo comes up on cell phone screen as a healthy Orange Carrot.

The French firm of 15 is owned by a young woman & 2 Men friends since 2016?.

Simply scan the bar code with your cell phone on any food package or container you are about to purchase at the store, or onto items you already have at home..

And be floored to what you are thinking about putting into your human gas tank!

Their quality rating system goes from 0% to 100% (such as 0/100) and then lists & rates the amount of calories, sat fat, protein, sugar, salt, additives, fiber, if organic, etc.

Also, the app stores each item you’ve looked at, in order of viewing a product’s bar code, which can be looked at again..

And sometimes the app offers a healthier alternative with its rating.

For instance: A bag of Organic Chick Peas rates out at: Excellent at 100/100%, organic. 100% vegetable, protein 6g, fiber 5g, sat fat 0g, sugar 1g, sodium bad at 214mg, calories high at 130.

Then, a dark chocolate & coconut Mounds candy bar rates out at a low 3/100%, has 4 additives but not harmful, sat fat 7g, sugar 15g, calories 160, sodium low at 40mg, fiber 2g..while a better product would be: a protein coconut choc bar rated @ 51/100.

Saying, put this app on your cell and have a blast seeing how healthy you are buying & eating..plus it’s fun & a bit addictive even to a point where I watched a grocery shopper yesterday checking out the long ingredient label content and I showed him this app and Bam, he put that item down quickly and thanked me! Ha..

Go TiGERS..Jeep Rocking and Stay Healthy!

Appreciate your trying to inform folks, but I don't like it.

The research it's relying on to determine if a food is "good" or "bad" is severely flawed or in its infancy. The fact that it's French is also a big issue because they're beholden to EU standards which have severe flaws (like closely following the findings of IARC, which is a ridiculous organization).

The very woke team that created it do not have great credentials in evaluating scientific studies. It produces silly, ######## ratings, like you can take two cans with identical labels, but one can says "organic" which means very little in the FDA/USDA. It will say the organic one is good and the other is bad. That's a serious problem as it causes severe food phobias (you gave an example of a guy who took the stupid little red dot as a sign it was bad) because most folks have no experience in reading scientific studies to see its flaws.

Let's not even get into the issues with giving data on all your food intake to a bunch of random French people.
