Know What You Eat
FOOD SCANNER
Standing in Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Lidl or Aldi? Point your phone at the barcode and see the sugar, fat, salt and additives hiding in it — before it reaches your trolley.
HOW TO USE IT IN THE AISLE
- Tap Scan A Barcode and allow the camera.
- Hold the barcode steady inside the box — works on any supermarket product in Scotland.
- Read the verdict: living food, middle ground, or ultra-processed.
- Loose fruit and veg have no barcode — search the name instead, or just trust the fruit.
