Yuka's strongest behavioral feature, built for every kind of food. See what to choose next, with calorie and nutrition deltas, the moment you scan.
Scan to See Better OptionsKnowing a food scored 62 is only half the value. FoodIdentifier immediately shows three concrete, healthier alternatives across restaurant, grocery, and homemade options so your next decision is easy.
Packaged product scanned? See cleaner-label alternatives in the same aisle, with additive and sugar deltas.
Dining out? Get lighter dishes from the same cuisine that keep the flavor but cut calories and sodium.
Cooking? Simple recipe tweaks that raise protein, add fiber, or drop ultra-processed ingredients.
The moment your scan resolves, the alternatives engine compares your result against thousands of foods matched to your goals and dietary profile.
Photo or barcode — the AI identifies the item and computes its full nutrition and score.
Alternatives are filtered by your allergies, dietary type, and goals so every swap is actually viable for you.
Each swap shows calorie, protein, and score deltas so you can decide in a glance — then scan or save it.
Yuka excels at suggesting better packaged products. FoodIdentifier extends that behavior to meals and restaurant dishes — the places most decisions actually happen.
