WHY IT MATTERS

Many products marketed as healthy, natural, high-protein, or kid-friendly are ultra-processed. Growing research links ultra-processed food to poorer health outcomes - but ingredient lists are written for chemists, not shoppers. UPF Detector turns them into one clear answer at the shelf.

BUILT ON NOVA

UPF Detector uses the NOVA classification system, developed by researchers at the University of São Paulo:

• NOVA 1: Unprocessed or minimally processed foods
• NOVA 2: Processed culinary ingredients
• NOVA 3: Processed foods
• NOVA 4: Ultra-processed foods

You don't need to understand the science behind every ingredient. The app turns it into a clear result.

PERFECT FOR

• Everyday grocery shopping
• Parents checking kids' snacks
• Anyone cutting down on ultra-processed food
• Comparing cereals, yogurts, protein bars, snacks, and ready meals

PRIVACY FIRST

We do not sell your data. Your food choices stay private.

Stop guessing what's healthy. Scan it.
