Yuka app

Yuka is a prominent mobile application designed to help consumers evaluate the health impact of food and cosmetic products. Launched in France in 2017, the app allows users to scan the barcodes of everyday items to receive an instant rating based on three criteria: nutritional quality, the presence of additives, and the organic nature of the product. The app is widely known for its independence, refusing all forms of advertising or brand influence to maintain objective scoring.

Originally conceived as a carrot-shaped magnetic device for refrigerators, the founders—brothers Benoît and François Martin and their friend Julie Chapon—pivoted to a mobile app format to make health information more accessible to a global audience. The brand is headquartered in Paris, where its development and scientific teams are based. As a Certified B Corporation, Yuka emphasizes social and environmental impact, funding its operations primarily through its premium 'member' version, a healthy eating guide, and seasonal calendars. It has successfully expanded into multiple international markets including the US, UK, Canada, and several European countries.
