NovaLens

Know how processed your food really is

Point your camera at any food label and NOVA Checker tells you how processed it is — and shows you exactly which ingredients led to the answer.

Scan. See. Understand.

Scan a barcode for an instant lookup, or photograph the ingredients list and let your iPhone read it. In seconds you get a clear NOVA processing group, from 1 (unprocessed) to 4 (ultra-processed).

No black-box scores

Most apps hand you a rating and expect you to trust it. NOVA Checker is different. It shows you the modified starches, syrups, emulsifiers and additives behind every result — so you can see the reasoning for yourself and decide what it means for you.

Private by design

Label reading happens entirely on your iPhone. No account needed to get started, and your photos aren't uploaded for everyday scans.

What you get

• Instant barcode lookups from a database of millions of products

• On-device label scanning when there's no barcode

• The exact ingredients behind every classification

• A history of everything you've scanned

Go Premium for unlimited scans, plain-English explanations, additive watchlists and export.

A quick note: NOVA describes how processed a food is — not whether it's healthy. NOVA Checker is here to help you understand labels, not to give nutritional or medical advice.
