•Find out the Nutritional Value of Food products
•Find out the Health Hazards of Personal Care and Household Cleaning products
•Find out whether a product contains ingredients with health concerns
•Get informed about the potential health effects of different chemicals

About the GoodGuide Rating:
The GoodGuide Rating was developed using methodologies that are grounded in the sciences of informatics and health risk assessment. Products are scored from a low of 0 to a high of 10. The higher the rating, the better the product from a health perspective.
About GoodGuide:
GoodGuide’s mission is to provide consumers with the information they need to make better shopping decisions. We believe that as more consumers choose products that contain ingredients with fewer health concerns, retailers and manufacturers face compelling incentives to make and sell better products.
To fulfill our mission, GoodGuide combines manufacturer-provided information about product ingredients with authoritative information on the health effects of chemicals. We rate products so that consumers can have instant access to credible information about products that would be very difficult for anyone to develop on their own.

GoodGuide has grown to become the web’s most comprehensive and credible resource for information about the impact of consumer products on human health. Hundreds of thousands consumers use GoodGuide’s website and mobile apps every month to help decode product labels, research ingredients, and make more informed decisions about the products they purchase.

Installed this on an Android 7.1.1 phone - kept freezing on every scan attempt. Nice idea...

Generally the app is cool in that I can get information (when the product is in the database) simply by scanning a baroda !

UPC scanning isn't syncing with db. Products shown as not listed are in the database.

The last version of this app was better. When I was in the grocery store, I would scan items and the app would recognize it. Now, it doesn't recognize the same products it recognized before (I tried it out on my lotion bottles at home). I've noticed that the website also contains many fewer products than it did before. The other problem with this app is that it takes a long to load the different screens. Please make these improvement or get rid of the app altogether!

Excellent! Very informative, and possibly helped me keep my family safe from harmful toxins. There were some that caused cancer or inheritible genetic damage. Just as a few examples.

Like all the other apps, nothing seems to be in the db. I'm thinking regional issue or people are being paid off as other comments say it used to work.... Hmmm

I've tried to scanned 5 items in my home and only 1 worked! That was Dove deodorant and they rated it POOR. really..who make up these things?

Terrible app!! Consumers beware! Rates some chemical ridden, drugstore products as safe and highly recommended. I did a quick comparison with some of my organic products and, those that had a review, scored poorly compared to drugstore products containing ingredients such as methylparaben and propylparaben. These chemicals are endrochin disruptors, cause cancer, and create developmental and reproductive toxicity. For example, a CVS sunscreen got a 10 rating, which is the best possible rating a product can get using this app. Only three ingredients are listed for this product, yet the full list of inactive ingredients, including cancer causing parabens, were not listed. Consumers can check for ingredient safety and likely get better and more accurate information by doing a quick Google search.
