PickyScan labels.
Skip the junk.
Point your camera at a barcode and get a clear answer in seconds. Picky flags artificial dyes, seed oils, high-fructose syrup, controversial additives and your allergens, and tells you why.
How it works
No sign-up, no scores to decode. Three steps.
Scan the barcode
Use the camera, or type the number if the label is worn.
Get the verdict
Green, amber or red, based on the filters you choose.
See why
Each flag shows the exact ingredient and one plain sentence on why it matters.
What Picky flags
Everything is on by default. Switch off anything you don't care about.
Your allergens, always in red

Your filters and scan history never leave your device.
Questions
Where does the ingredient data come from?
From Open Food Facts, a free, open database of millions of products built by volunteers around the world. Picky only sends the barcode you scanned.
A product isn't found. What now?
Picky links you to Open Food Facts, where anyone can add a product in about a minute. Once added, it works for everyone.
Does it work with imported products?
Yes. Picky uses language-independent ingredient data, so a label in French, German or Turkish is understood the same way.
Can I change the app's language?
Yes. Open My Filters and pick Language at the top: 25 languages, or follow your iPhone's language. The switch is instant.
Is this medical advice?
No. Picky is for information only. Always check the package, especially if you have a food allergy.
