WHY IT MATTERS
Food labels can be hard to understand. Many products marketed as healthy, natural, high-protein, or family-friendly may still be ultra-processed.
UPF Detector helps you cut through the confusion and make faster, more confident choices at the shelf.
BUILT ON NOVA
UPF Detector uses the NOVA food classification system, developed by researchers at the University of Sao Paulo, to classify foods by processing level:
• NOVA 1: Unprocessed or minimally processed foods
• NOVA 2: Processed culinary ingredients
• NOVA 3: Processed foods
• NOVA 4: Ultra-processed foods
You do not need to understand the science behind every ingredient. The app turns it into a clear result.
PERFECT FOR
• Everyday grocery shopping
• Parents checking kids’ snacks
