Get a score out of 100

One number that weighs how processed a product is: its additives, refined oils and sugars, plus contaminants like pesticides, microplastics and heavy metals. Every flag is explained.

Safer

Find safer alternatives

Scores can’t
be bought.

Ivy is paid for by the people who use it, not by food brands. No company can pay to raise a score, hide an additive or get listed as a safer alternative. Every product is rated on what’s in it, the same way, every time.

Opened my eyes

This app has really opened my eyes, it’s quite scary to see & read what is actually in our food. Hopefully this app can guide me onto a better way to shop and eat safer products 🙏

Life changing

I now keep scanning everything and realised how easy it is to eat the wrong stuff

Changed everything

This app is well worth the money which is little to none when involves living a healthy lifestyle. Get it! It will change you life!!

Love this App

So glad this is out there finally something that helps people be aware of the food they eat

Great app

Excellent tool for the purpose of making good decisions

Health change

I always thought we ate pretty healthily but I rarely check labels. Things are packaged and sold in a way that makes them seem healthy but they are not. This has opened my eyes and even after 1 day of using it we will systematically get rid of the ultra processed junk in our house.

Great app

Fantastic app, easy to use and life changing

I’m in shock

Honestly I’m excited to use this app and hope this can help me live longer because me reading ingredients on my own and shopping takes so long lol

Find healthier options

This is the best app

Time Saver

This app is a must for anyone who needs to be concerned about what their food contains, but doesn’t have the time for all the reading necessary.

Shop safer

This app really helps people figure out what items to grocery shop for that is safer and more healthy for the human body. Amazing.

Knowledge is Power

For those who don’t read ingredients or don’t know what a lot of the longer names mean, this is essential to teach of the toxic ingredients we ingest daily!

Packed with information

Extremely user friendly and PACKED FULL OF INFORMATION!!!! I highly recommend anyone to get this app to have a healthier and cleaner life, your future self will thank you.

Great app

Very pleased with this app it’s simple and straight forward to use. One of the best food check apps I’ve used.

Finally getting help

I have searched all over to find a program that will help in knowing what is in the product I want to buy

Necessary

I always always always check ingredients, but this is able to point out some I’m not familiar with and keeps me learning!

Good to know

iPhone and Android.

No, Ivy focuses entirely on ultra-processing of food. We strongly believe that if your primary focus is to replace ultra-processed food with natural whole foods, calories lose their relevancy.

You can try Ivy completely free. After the trial, Ivy becomes a yearly subscription of £29.99 (just £2.50 per month).

Ivy uses an advanced algorithm put together by an NHS consultant. This algorithm takes many things into account, such as seed oil content, additive content, added sugar content, how far removed a product is from its natural state and more.

Ivy has scanned over 3 million products so it’s unlikely that you’ll come across something that’s not in the database. Even if you do, you can simply snap a photo of the ingredients label instead and Ivy will calculate a score.
