How it works
Three seconds from barcode to answer.
Point your camera at a barcode. Nutivio finds the product, explains its score in plain words, and shows you what to try instead.
- Scan a barcode, or type it in
- See the score and the reasons behind it
- Swap for a better product of the same kind
Food
Nutrition you can read at a glance.
Every food product is rated on its nutrition, its additives and organic certification, and shows how processed it is. You see what to limit, what's good about it, and the full ingredients and allergens.
- Energy, saturates, sugar and salt per 100 g
- Additives, and level of processing for information
- Allergens and diet indicators, always with the label as the final word
Beauty
Every ingredient, checked.
For skincare, hair care and hygiene products, Nutivio checks the full ingredient list against EU cosmetics rules and published safety opinions, and tells you why anything is flagged.
- Each ingredient rated from “no concern found” to “high risk”
- The regulation or opinion behind every flag
- Everything else summarised, so the list stays readable
Better
A better choice, never a random one.
Better puts what you scanned next to a clearly better product of the same kind: an energy drink for an energy drink, a moisturiser for a moisturiser. If there's no trustworthy match, it shows nothing.
- Same kind of product, meaningfully higher score
- Why it's better, in a few words
- Separate Food and Beauty suggestions
Basket Score
See the whole shop, not just one product.
Scan five products and get one score for your basket, the best choice in it and the one most worth swapping. Share the card with friends, with your first name on it.
- One score for five products
- Your best choice and the one most worth swapping
- Better picks, additive checks and weekly progress

Questions
Good to know.
An app that explains packaged food, drinks and beauty products. Scan a barcode to see a score from 0 to 100, the reasons behind it, the full ingredients and allergens, and a better product of the same kind when there is one.
Yes. Nutivio is currently free to use, and every feature is included with a free account: scanning, scores, product details, search, personal alerts, Better, the Basket Score, offline access, history and favourites. No subscription is needed.
No. There's no subscription or in-app purchase at the moment. If we ever introduce paid features, we'll update our terms and tell you in the app in advance with the date it takes effect, and you'd only pay if you chose to buy them yourself in the App Store or Google Play.
Out of 100, in three parts: nutrition (up to 60 points, from the original Nutri-Score algorithm), additives (up to 30) and an official organic certification (10). A high-concern additive limits the score to 49. 75 and above is Excellent, 50 to 74 Good, 25 to 49 Poor and below 25 Bad. Every product page shows what raised or lowered its score.
From their ingredient list, checked against EU cosmetics rules and published safety opinions. Labels don't show amounts, so a flag describes the ingredient, not how much of it is in the product.
