From shelf to safe in seconds
Three steps. No typing, no barcode hunting, no waiting.
Snap the label
Point your camera at any ingredient list — back of the pack, any brand, any country.
Instant risk scan
Additive reads every ingredient, cross-references its database, and color-codes each additive: red, amber, or green.
Pick the cleaner swap
Get a side-by-side alternative with fewer risky additives — often from the same category, in the same store aisle.
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

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."
