WISEcode UPF Detector

You have the right to know what’s in your food. WISEcode UPF Detector turns complex ingredient lists into one clear answer instantly. Scan any barcode, get an ingredient-level breakdown, and know whether what you’re buying is ultra-processed. Free. No guesswork.

THE PROBLEM WITH FOOD LABELS
Ingredient lists are written for chemists, not consumers. No other food apps can go deeper than the nutrition facts panel. WISEcode has the data to tell you how processed your food actually is, and why that matters.

Ultra-processed foods have been linked to obesity, metabolic disease, and inflammation. But “ultra-processed” has never had a clear, consumer-facing standard. Until now.

THE WISECODE DIFFERENCE
WISEcode is powered by the world’s most comprehensive food intelligence platform, NFP+™, built with industry-leading nutrition scientists, analyzed at the ingredient level. Our proprietary algorithm goes beyond NOVA and other broad classification systems to give you surgical precision:
840,000+ foods analyzed, 15,000 data points per product, 1,000x more data than a standard nutrition facts panel. Referenced by the American Society for Nutrition and the National Cancer Institute.

HOW WISECODE UPF DETECTOR WORKS
Every ingredient is assigned a processing level from 0 (unprocessed) to 4 (synthetic/highly concerning). Scores are summed, sugar penalties are applied, and the result places foods on our 5-level scale. Red-flag ingredients — those with credible safety concerns — automatically trigger a Super-Ultra classification, no math needed. It’s not about giving advice, it’s about giving you context.
