Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I built Bear because I kept standing in the supermarket googling E-numbers with a toddler in the trolley. Bear scans any barcode and gives you an instant score out of 100 — fully transparent, no brand sponsorships — broken into additives, seed oils, added sugar, and processing level. It also personalises alerts for pregnancy and kids' ages, which no other scanner does, and suggests better alternatives from the same shelf. We've pre-scored 480,000+ UK & US products. Would love your feedback!
Report
Scanned a cereal box in Tesco and was shocked the score actually flagged the seed oil I always overlook. The plain English breakdown beats those confusing traffic light labels hands down.

Finally a food scanner that just gives you a number and explains why, no green yellow red confusion in the middle of tesco. The seed oil breakdown caught my eye since half the kids snacks seem to have something dodgy in them.

Scanned a few products on my phone and the additive breakdown was actually clear and useful, not just "red yellow green" nonsense. Love that it flags seed oils too, didn't expect that level of detail from a barcode app.
