Calories, macros, processing level, additives, allergens, and personalized suitability — distilled into a single honest number with every deduction explained.
Scan a Food to See Its ScoreMost apps show calories and call it a day. FoodIdentifier evaluates the full picture — nutritional quality, how processed a food is, what's actually in it, and how well it fits you personally — then gives you one number from 0 to 100.
A single score tells you instantly whether a food supports or works against your goals — no nutrition degree required.
See exactly why points came off: high added sugar, ultra-processed, excess sodium, missing fiber. Nothing is hidden.
Each score includes a confidence level and the data sources behind it, so you know how much to rely on it.
The Unified Food Score combines six independent evaluations. You see each one and the final blended number.
Calories, protein, fiber, and micronutrients per serving — the foundation of the score.
NOVA-style classification from minimally processed to ultra-processed, with points deducted accordingly.
Preservatives, colorings, emulsifiers and other additives are flagged and weighed against your preferences.
Matches against your saved allergies and intolerances so the score reflects what's safe for you.
Your goals, dietary type, and health conditions adjust the score to fit you — not the average person.
A confidence indicator and source list tell you whether the score is verified, estimated, or AI-modeled.
