Why our 0–100 score wins

Most apps give you raw data — calories, macros, a long ingredient list — and leave you to judge whether a food is "good." That judgment is the hard part. Our Unified Food Score does it for you: one number from 0 to 100 that grades nutrition density, processing level (NOVA classification), additives, and allergens.

Every deduction is explained, and no brand can pay to change a score. Yuka scores too — but only packaged products via barcode. FoodIdentifier is the only app that scores any meal, homemade or packaged, from a single photo.

Why scan speed matters

The #1 reason people quit tracking food is effort. Manual logging — searching a database, typing portions — takes 5–10 minutes per meal, so most people abandon their tracker within a week.

FoodIdentifier returns a full analysis in about 2 seconds from one photo. Faster tracking means you actually stick with it — and consistency, not perfection, is what drives results.
