FAQ

How does Yuka determine a product's health rating?

Yuka evaluates products based on three key criteria for food: nutritional value, additives, and organic certification. For beauty and personal care products, it analyzes all ingredients, assessing their associated risks based on current scientific research. Each factor contributes to an overall color-coded score (excellent, good, mediocre, or poor) that indicates the product's impact on your health.

Are Yuka's recommendations biased?

No, Yuka is a completely independent application. Product evaluations and recommendations are 100% objective. No brand or manufacturer can influence the scores or suggestions. The app also does not feature any advertising, ensuring that your health and informed choices are the sole focus.

Can I use Yuka for international products?

Yuka's database is extensive and covers a wide range of products available in many countries. While the majority of products are from Europe and North America, the app is continuously expanding its global reach. You can check if a product is available in the database by scanning its barcode.
