Questions, answered.
What is Scandy?
Scandy is an Android app that reads a food product's barcode and shows what's inside: ingredients, nutrition, additives and a clear score, all in plain words.
How do I use it?
Open the app, point the camera at a barcode, read the result. No account needed.
Where does the data come from?
From Open Food Facts, a free, open food database built by people around the world. We credit it wherever we use it.
How accurate is it?
Open Food Facts is community-built, so some products are incomplete or out of date. Scandy shows when the data was last updated and how complete it is, and links to the product page so mistakes can be fixed. When key data is missing, Scandy gives no score.
How is the Scandy Score calculated?
Nutrition counts for 60%, additives for 25% and processing for 15%. A high-risk additive can cap the score. Every score comes with its reasons, and the method is versioned.
Is it really free?
Yes. No subscription and no ads.
Does Scandy track me?
No. There's no account, no ads and no trackers, and your scan history stays on your phone. The only thing sent out is the barcode, to Open Food Facts, to look the product up.
Why can't I find my product?
Coverage depends on Open Food Facts and varies by country. If a product is missing, Scandy shows a link to add it, so the next person finds it.
Is it on iPhone?
Not yet. Scandy is Android first.
Is this medical advice?
No. Scandy gives information, not medical advice. For your health, talk to a doctor or dietitian.
When can I get it?
