Frequently asked questions
What is Osana Scan and how does the food scanner app work?
Osana Scan is a food scanner app. You scan a product's barcode and get a health score out of 100, plus a clear look at what's inside: additives, how processed the food is, and any health concerns.
How does the health score work?
Every product starts at 100. We take points off based on four things: its nutrition, its additives, how processed it is, and your own preferences. A product with a high-risk additive can never score above 39. You can read the full breakdown on our scoring page.
Where does Osana Scan get its data?
Product info like ingredients and nutrition facts comes from open food databases such as Open Food Facts, brand-provided data, and community contributions. Our additive ratings are based on guidance from health and food-safety authorities like the FDA and EFSA.
Do brands pay you to be in the app?
No. Brands can't pay for a better score or a spot in the app. We don't use affiliate links either, so we don't earn anything when you buy a product.
Why do I have to pay for Osana Scan?
Because that's how we stay independent. With no brand deals and no affiliate links, your subscription is what pays for the app, the database, and honest scores.
What can I scan with the food additives checker?
Most packaged foods, drinks, and everyday grocery items with a barcode. Our food additives checker covers millions of products from major US retailers, and we add new ones every day.
Does Osana Scan work with my diet?
Yes. Set your preferences for gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, keto, and more. Osana Scan then flags any product that doesn't fit your needs.
I have a question or some feedback. Who do I contact?
Email us at contact@osana.co. Questions, feedback, ideas, a product we're missing: we'd love to hear from you, and we're happy to reply.
Know what you're eating with every scan.
