Yaku app

I'm just curious if anyone is using this app? A mate in work told me about it today. It's free, no ads and it lets you scan a barcode and then the app will tell you how good / bad the product is in terms sugars, fats, terrible things, etc. It's given me some really bad results about things that I thought were probably ok.

Can you give examples of things you thought were OK but the app says otherwise.

I must stop Peperami as a snack:-)

But some positives at least. It might be handy to find "healthier" versions of favourite snacks / convenience foods etc.

Just realised it recommends alternatives.
