Sustainable App Recommendation: Yuka

Yuka is a platform where you can scan everyday products and food to garner information on the ingredients and their effects on health, the environment, and effectiveness. 

My personal use has been limited to the scanning of cosmetic products, but the food-scanning utility seems just as developed. Once a barcode has been scanned, a page including user-submitted information from ingredient labels is listed with an assosciated score of health risk by ingredient and overall. All ingredients contain a information page detailing specific regulations and effects.
