Clea: Microplastics in Food

Scan any barcode and see what published research says about microplastics in that food and its packaging.

Microplastics are in more of your food than you think. The research exists, but it is buried in scientific journals. Clea puts it behind a barcode scan.

Point your camera at any food product and Clea shows you a research-based estimate of its microplastic exposure level, based on the food type and its packaging. Every single estimate links to the published, peer-reviewed study behind it. No black box, no made-up numbers.

WHY CLEA IS DIFFERENT

Nobody lab-tests every product on a shelf, and any app that claims exact per-product numbers is guessing. Clea is honest about how this science works:

• Estimates are matched by food category and packaging type, drawn from published studies
• Every result shows its source. Tap through and read the study yourself
• Every result shows a confidence level, because some research is stronger than other research
• When there is no credible study for a food, Clea says "no data yet" instead of inventing a number

WHAT YOU CAN DO FREE, FOREVER

• Unlimited barcode scanning
• See the exposure estimate, evidence level and the study behind every scan
• Works with a huge share of supermarket products, with a packaging fallback for the rest
• Share any scan as a card for Stories, TikTok or your group chat, with the study attached
• See this week's exposure level at a glance on the Track tab

CLEA PRO

Pro is for people who want to actually reduce their exposure, not just look at it:

• Your reduction plan: your biggest sources ranked from your own scans, each with a research-backed swap
• Your dashboard: weekly stats, trends over time, streaks and swaps made
• The full research library: browse and filter every verified category
• Search any product by name, no barcode needed
• Watchlist alerts when a scan matches a category you avoid

THE HONEST FINE PRINT

Clea is an educational tool, not medical advice. It shows category-level estimates from published research, not laboratory measurements of your specific item. The health effects of microplastics are still being studied. What Clea gives you is the best available science, cited, in one place.

Your privacy: no account, no ads, no trackers, no data sold. Your scan history stays on your device.
