Yum Check sorts the ingredients by concern level and explains what each one means in everyday language.

Get an answer even when a barcode cannot help you.

A missing, damaged, or unrecognized barcode should not leave you guessing. Yum Check works from the product photo itself, so you can investigate the food in front of you instead of hoping it already exists in a database.

A private list that belongs to you

Your saved product history remains on your iPhone—not in a Yum Check account.

Your data is not the product

Get useful answers without giving up your privacy.

Yum Check collects only the information needed to analyze your scan, keep the app working, and improve reliability. Your personal information is not sold to advertisers or data brokers, and it is never used for targeted advertising.

Your food choices are not for sale

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information—or turn your scans into an advertising profile.

Less personal data by design

You do not need an account, and anonymous app analytics are not intentionally connected to your name, email, or contacts.

Your full scan history belongs to you

It stays on your iPhone until you decide otherwise. Delete the entire history at any time, without requesting permission or waiting for us to do it.

See exactly how data is handled

To give you an analysis, scan images are securely sent to the service providers described in our privacy policy. Yum Check does not retain them as a personal profile or scan database.

Choose with the full picture

What you need to know before your first scan.

Can Yum Check help with the product in front of me?

Yes—photograph a packaged food item, the front or back of its packaging, a nutrition panel, or an ingredients list. A clear ingredients-list photo gives you the most exact label analysis, but you can still get useful guidance from a recognizable product photo.

What if the barcode is missing or will not scan?

You can still check the product. Yum Check analyzes the photo itself, so you can use your camera in the store or choose an existing picture from your library without relying on a barcode database.

How will I know whether an ingredient deserves concern?

The 0–100 score gives you a quick overall answer, with higher scores representing a cleaner result. Green, yellow, orange, and red labels separate safe, low-concern, caution, and high-risk signals, while the ingredient cards explain the reason behind each flag.

Who controls my scan history?

You do. Your saved product history stays locally on your iPhone rather than in a Yum Check account. You can delete the entire history at any time from Settings, without restrictions or a deletion request.

Can Yum Check tell me what is medically safe for me?

Yum Check helps you understand general ingredient concerns and make a more informed shopping decision. It cannot account for every medical condition or personal reaction, so it does not replace allergy guidance or advice from a qualified healthcare professional.
