Ever wondered how much sugar is in your fave cola or salt is in your sauce? Find out with the Food Scanner app!
Food Scanner is here to help you and your family make healthier food and drink choices.

It's time to get scanning! Just find a food or drink barcode to quickly see what's inside. You might be surprised by what you find!
Search 'Change4Life' to discover a whole range of ideas to help keep your family healthy and happy.

We are using Augmented Reality within the app that brings to life what’s inside your food and drink right in front of your eyes! There are certain limitations depending on what device you have and if your device supports ARCore. If it doesn’t not to worry we will show you a 3D scenario instead so you won’t miss out on all the fun.
The app is based on the most widespread data available to us. We're continuously working to improve it and we're adding more and more products all the time.
The nutrient data in this app is supplied by Brand Bank and Food Switch.
The number of sugar cubes, sat fat and salt sachets shown in app are based on grams per pack/100g/ml/portion when that information is available.

The weight of one sugar cube is equal to 4 grams
The weight on one sat fat lump is equal to 1 gram
The weight of one salt sachet is equal to 0.5 grams

Rubbish

YorkshireLass1955 on

Hasn’t scanned anything I’ve tried. They said they’ve updated it but no tins are being scanned

Useful app

Queenfisher1111 on

Useful to easily see the traffic lights for each product to make a healthier choice or at least know the product you’re eating may not be the healthiest but it’s your informed choice whether to switch or make adjustments elsewhere

Doesn’t work 🤷🏼‍♀️

What! Every nickname taken?! on

Just get an Ooops message, try again!?

Oops something went wrong!

Pinkhandbag on

As the heading says the app keeps saying oops something went wrong! 😑 I am so very disappointed that this keeps happening ☹️ I will persevere with it over the next few days and see how it goes. Who knows, it could be just a glitch?!

Poor

Awful

Every single item in my large weekly shop came up as ‘oops try again’ Not worth the bother

Rubbish

Kador w on

When I finally got the app to scan a barcode it then decided that there was no internet connection, according to the phone I had full internet connection. I then tried it on my wife’s phone but exactly the same problem occurred. Don’t bother to download this app
