See it. Scan it. Swap it.
Scan a barcode and see every ingredient in plain English, with the ones linked to heavy processing flagged. Then find a simpler swap, if you want one.
Free to scan. UK products. On the App Store and Google Play.
Three taps.
Scan
Point your camera at a food barcode, or snap a supermarket receipt to look over a whole shop.
Understand
See every ingredient laid out. Flagged ones are highlighted, each with a plain-English explanation.
Decide
Look at swaps, alternatives and make-your-own ideas. Or do nothing. It's your call.
A score with the working shown.
Standard jar mayo
Avocado oil mayo
Two mayos from the Unwrap database, scored the way the app scored them in November 2026 (brands left out). Each highlighted ingredient is a flag. The score runs from 1.0 to 10.0 and weighs how many flags there are and how strongly each one is tied to industrial processing. Scores can move as label data is corrected.
Swaps, alternatives and Make Your Own.
Under every scan there are three different next steps. Use one, all of them, or none. They're there when you want options, not to tell you what to buy.
Swaps
Other products from the same category, like another mayo for your mayo, starting with the closest match.
- Best score: the lowest UPF score
- Best value: the lowest price point
- Simplest: the shortest ingredient list
- Already holding the best one? Unwrap tells you
Alternatives
Options from a different category that could fill the same gap, with fewer flagged ingredients than what you scanned.
- Simplest: the shortest ingredient list
- Fewest flags: a second pick with as few flagged ingredients as possible
- Whole food idea: a grab-and-go suggestion, no cooking needed
Make Your Own
For products that are easy to make yourself, a short card with the few ingredients you need and the steps.
- Short and cheap: time, cost and difficulty shown up front
- No fancy kit, no hard-to-find ingredients
- Plus full recipes in the Recipes tab
