Getcheck

Getcheck is a mobile app designed to help users quickly evaluate the ingredients and additives in packaged foods using their smartphone camera. Instead of relying on barcodes, the app analyzes product labels directly, identifying seed oils, artificial colors like Red 40, hidden sugars, and more than 200 other additives. Its primary purpose is to make it easier for individuals and families to understand what is in their food and make more informed choices at the point of purchase.

The app’s core capability is real-time label scanning: users point their camera at an ingredient list, and Getcheck automatically highlights flagged substances and provides a clear, product-level score. It covers over 4 million products, increasing the likelihood that commonly purchased items are recognized and evaluated accurately. The tool works on both iOS and Android, and is designed to function even when barcodes are missing, damaged, or not supported. By focusing on ingredients rather than branding, Getcheck offers a more consistent assessment across different product types and regions.
