Matskanner – Food Additives

Know what you eat. Scan the barcode on a food product and instantly see which additives it contains and how processed it is. Matskanner is completely free: no ads, no subscription and no limit on how much you scan.

A CLEAR VERDICT
Every product gets a simple rating: Good choice, Eat less often or Avoid. You also see why, so you can decide for yourself.

E-NUMBERS IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
Tap an additive to see what it is and what it is used for. Additives are marked OK, Questionable or Avoid, so you can quickly find the most debated ones.

HOW PROCESSED IS THE FOOD?
Matskanner uses the NOVA scale, which sorts food into four groups from unprocessed to ultra-processed. When there is no official NOVA value, the app makes an estimate and clearly says that it is an estimate.

BUILT FOR SWEDISH GROCERIES
Scan products from regular Swedish stores. If the camera can't find the barcode, you can type it in by hand.

YOUR HISTORY
Everything you scan is saved in History. Filter by clean choices, things to avoid or your favourites, and see your week in numbers.
