More Interesting Apps to Install

FoodSwitch

Find out what’s in the packaged food you’re eating and help make healthier choices for you and your family. Get immediate, easy-to-understand information about packaged food products as well as a list of similar foods that are healthier choices.

  • Scan – Use the autofocus camera on a supported smartphone or tablet to scan a packaged food’s barcode to get easy-to-understand nutritional information.

View results as either traffic-light style or Health Star Rating (HSR) labels. Both modes deliver results for energy, saturated fat, sugar, and salt so you can see at a glance how healthy the food item is.

If you’re in GlutenSwitch mode, you’ll also get an indication of whether the scanned food product contains gluten or not.

  • How FoodSwitch works – FoodSwitch comes with handy filters to suit different health needs.

If you’re using the SaltSwitch, EnergySwitch, FatSwitch or SugarSwitch filters, the healthier choices listed must also have a lower amount of the relevant nutrient (salt, kilojoules, saturated fat, and total sugar respectively) than the product you scanned.

  • Switch – When you scan a food product you’ll also get a list of healthier choices you can switch to.
