Processed - Food Scanning App 4+

Great App Overall, but some issues

This app is fantastic in that it was exactly what I was looking for to help me identify ultra processed foods (to be able to avoid them). It seems to be based on the NOVA food classification system, which is exactly what I was looking for. I love that it identifies which classification each ingredient falls under, which really helps me in learning to recognize these myself when reading labels. There seems to be some issues with the app locking up though when scanning barcodes. If a barcode is scanned that isn’t in the system it gives the option to scan the ingredients list, but this is when the app freezes up and you can’t actually scan the ingredients. I have to close out of the app and reopen it, then switch to scanning ingredients instead of barcode and it will work from there. This happens every time I try a barcode scan that is not in the system. Hopefully this bug will get fixed, because other than that this app is exactly what I was looking for!

Love this app!

I spent sometime in the grocery store and in my pantry scanning packaged foods. I created a shopping list of things minimally processed for future reference and will stay away from ultra processed foods. Even things I thought were healthy, and found they weren’t. Very helpful app, easy and fun to use. When the bar code doesn’t scan, you can scan the ingredients.
