Making Food Processing Information Accessible to Everyone
We believe that everyone deserves access to food processing information. Hungry Koala Scanner combines cutting edge AI technology with established NOVA classification methods to democratise food processing knowledge.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower individuals and families with food processing information through AI powered ingredient analysis. We believe that understanding what's in your food shouldn't require a nutrition degree or hours of research.
By making the NOVA food classification system accessible through simple camera scanning, we're putting the power of scientific nutritional knowledge directly into your hands, one scan at a time.

Scientific Foundation
Our analysis is built on the NOVA food classification system, developed by researchers at the University of São Paulo and recognized internationally by health organizations including the World Health Organization.
NOVA classifies foods based on the extent and purpose of processing, providing a framework that helps people understand what goes into their food beyond just nutritional content.
Our approach is based on research like "The UN Decade of Nutrition, the NOVA food classification and the trouble with ultra-processing". Want to learn more about the science? Check out the full research there.

A Few Important Things to Know
We want you to get the most out of Hungry Koala Scanner while staying safe and informed
📚Learning Tool
Hungry Koala Scanner is designed to help you learn about food processing. It's an educational tool, not medical advice. For health and nutrition decisions, especially if you have medical conditions, please chat with your healthcare provider.
🤖AI Assistance
Our AI is pretty smart, but it's not perfect! Sometimes it might miss something or make a mistake. We always recommend double checking ingredient labels yourself. Think of us as a helpful assistant, not the final word.
🥜Allergy Safety
If you have food allergies, please continue to check product labels carefully. We can't guarantee we'll catch every allergen. Your safety comes first, so always verify with the actual packaging and your doctor.
🛡️Your Responsibility
We've built Hungry Koala Scanner to be as helpful as possible, but your food choices are ultimately yours to make.
