Food scanner

A food scanner app built for healthier grocery shopping

How scanning works

Scan a barcode, see the full picture

Barcode scanning

Open the scanner, point your camera at a packaged product, and YumCart looks it up instantly across millions of food products.

Product lookup

No barcode handy? Premium members can search any product by name and get the same detailed data sheet without scanning.

A clear health score

Every scan shows a simple 0–100 score with color coding, so you can compare products at a glance while you shop.

Highlights and lowlights

See what a product does well — like fiber or protein — and where it falls short, like being higher in added sugar or sodium. Plain English, no judgment.

Better alternatives

If an item scores low, YumCart suggests similar products that may be a stronger fit for your goals.

Add to your grocery bag

Save scanned items to your grocery bag and digital pantry, then turn them into recipe ideas with macros.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

A food scanner app reads the barcode on a packaged product and matches it against a product database. YumCart then shows the item's health score, macros, and ingredient breakdown, so you can judge a product in seconds instead of decoding the label.
Yes. YumCart scans standard barcodes on packaged food products. Premium members can also scan with offline mode when there's no signal in the store.
You'll see a 0–100 health score with color coding, macros, and ingredient highlights and lowlights — what the product does well and where it falls short. If the product scores low, YumCart also shows healthier alternatives.
Yes. When a product scores poorly, YumCart recommends better everyday options in the same category, ranked by health score — a different granola, not a lecture about granola.
The database covers millions of food products and grows every day. If a product isn't recognized yet, you can look it up by name with product search, or try again soon as new products are added continuously.
