From shelf to safe in seconds

Three steps. No typing, no barcode hunting, no waiting.

Step 01

Snap the label

Point your camera at any ingredient list — back of the pack, any brand, any country.

Step 02

Instant risk scan

Additive reads every ingredient, cross-references its database, and color-codes each additive: red, amber, or green.

Step 03

Pick the cleaner swap

Get a side-by-side alternative with fewer risky additives — often from the same category, in the same store aisle.

Risk intelligence

Not all additives are equal. We tell you which ones matter.

Most label apps just list ingredients. Additive grades every single one against current research — linking studies, flagging contested additives, and explaining whyit's a concern, not just that it is.

  • Three-tier risk system: High, Medium, Safe
  • Plain-English explanations, no chemistry degree needed
  • Works on any photo — including crinkled, shadowed, or small text

Yuka misses products. Additive doesn't.

The gap between "not in the database" and a confident green light is exactly where we live.

★★★★★

"Every second product I scanned on Yuka came back as 'not found.' With Additive I get a result every single time, even for store-brand products."

Health-conscious parent, London

★★★★★

"The swap suggestion alone is worth it. I swapped my kids' cereal after seeing Red 40 flagged — found a clean version two shelves down."

Dietitian, Chicago

★★★★★

"I used to Google every suspicious ingredient at the checkout. Now I just scan and I'm done in under five seconds."
