About Skinny Scanning

Skinny Scanning scans packaged foods and meals, flags the ingredients that research links to weight gain, and shows its working. Every score comes with a breakdown, and every claim links to a real, verified study with its evidence strength.

SCAN ANYTHING

  • Barcodes: millions of products from the open OpenFoodFacts database
  • Meals: snap your plate and Apple Vision recognizes the foods on your device. Photos never leave your phone
  • No camera handy? Type a barcode or try one of the bundled sample products

SEE THE SCIENCE

  • "Why this score?": a transparent, step-by-step breakdown
  • Sugar shown as cubes next to the World Health Organization's advice
  • Traffic-light levels with the official UK thresholds, stricter for drinks
  • The NOVA processing scale and Nutri-Score
  • An evidence meter on every finding, from animal study to meta-analysis
  • A reading list of 39 sources, each checked against its abstract

MAKE IT FUN
