Better Choices
Understand what you choose. Milu shows you what's inside everyday products, so you can decide with confidence for yourself and the people you care about.
How it works
STEP 1
Scan the barcode
Scan a food or cosmetic product.
STEP 2
Milu reads the label
Ingredients, nutrition, and additives are gathered in one place.
STEP 3
Decide with clarity
See what matters, and why.
Milu does not just show a score. It explains why.
Real scans · Real products · Clear explanations
Scan a product
Scan the barcode. If Milu needs more information, just scan the label.
Keep what you've checked
Your scan history lets you quickly find products you've already checked.
Read the result
Milu brings together nutrition, ingredients and additives to give you a clear score and explain what influenced it.
How Milu builds the score
The score is a synthesis, not a verdict. It combines several documented factors so you can see at a glance what matters, then read why.
Nutrition
Energy, sugars, salt, saturated fats, and fiber, read per package and compared with established reference values used in nutrition labeling.
Additives
Each detected additive is checked against our risk list, built from public evaluations by food safety authorities and peer-reviewed research.
Ingredients
The ingredient list adds context: allergens, sweeteners, and ingredients that may not fit certain dietary preferences.
A risk list that stays current
Our additive risk list is reviewed regularly. When a food safety authority changes its evaluation, or new peer-reviewed evidence appears, we update the list and every affected product score is recalculated.
- Based on public evaluations from food safety authorities
- Cross-checked with peer-reviewed scientific literature
- Updated as soon as official positions change
Every score links back to the factors that influenced it, so you can verify instead of trusting.
