Beginning March of 2020, the global COVID pandemic changed how people live.

Yuka Is a software app available on the App Store and Google Play. Yuka scans the barcode of food and personal care products to decipher the ingredients and the nutritional value of the product. Using this knowledge, Yuka breaks down and evaluates the impact an item has on people’s health.
