The front of this pot says mango. The back says 9% — with sugar and glucose-fructose syrup right behind it. UnPeel only ever reads the back.
INGREDIENTS: YOGURT 80% (MILK, yogurt cultures), mango preparation 20% (mango 45%, sugar, glucose-fructose syrup, water, lemon juice concentrate, thickener pectin, flavourings, pumpkin and apple concentrate). Contains 9% mango.
02 · the front says “Made for your skin”
It knows what it’s holding.
Food, skincare, supplements, pet food and household. You never pick one: the app works out what it is holding, and judges a serum on skin and kibble as a dog’s dinner — not as your lunch.

The back of the pack tells you what is in it. It does not tell you whose business you are funding. That is the other half of the scan, and we are building it now.

Public records, from regulators and courts.
Starting with UK regulators. Each entry names the agency, the date, the status and links to the filing. No filing, no entry.
No record is shown until it links to its filing
04Designed
Beside the score. Never inside it.
What a company has done does not change what is in the pot, so the record never moves the number. It sits next to it, for you to weigh.
Ongoing says ongoing. Overturned says overturned.
Sourced, always
We restate public records. We do not investigate or accuse.
Both sides
The company’s response is stated beside every unresolved matter.
Cases they won still show
Drop those and you keep the accusation and lose the correction.
Empty is not clean
Finding nothing proves nothing, and the app will say so.
FAQ
Questionsworthasking
Before you decide
What it does not do
Where it falls short
An ingredient we can’t recognise counts for nothing, and every scan shows its coverage.
A camera and a model sometimes misread a label. We say so on the result itself.
Before you rely on it
UnPeel is for information only. It is not medical advice and not a medical device. It can misread a label. If you have an allergy, always read the physical label.
You must be 16 or older to use UnPeel.
01What can I scan — and does it really work on non-food?
Anything with an ingredients panel: food, skincare, supplements, pet food and household products. You never pick a category — the app works out what it is looking at, and a serum, a bag of kibble and a bottle of bleach each get an analysis written for that kind of product, rather than a food analysis awkwardly reused.
02Does the AI decide my score?
No. The model reads the label and writes the verdict in words. The number comes from our own engine, and nothing the model returns can change it.
03How is the score calculated, and why is it always the same?
The engine is proprietary, but here is what it weighs: what each ingredient is, where it sits on the label, what kind of product it is in, its regulatory standing, and how the ingredients combine. Because it is calculated rather than composed by a language model, the same label always scores the same — ask a model twice and you get two answers, which would make two products impossible to compare.
04Why did a scan take longer, and what happens to an ingredient you don’t recognise?
Both come down to the shared index. A label already in it is replayed instantly. A brand-new one gets the full read, including researching any ingredient our reference table has never seen: classified during the scan, written into the table, and the score recalculated on the fuller evidence. If that research cannot finish in time, the ingredient contributes nothing rather than being invented, and your coverage figure says so. The first person to scan something waits a few seconds longer; everyone after them does not.
05What happens to the things I scan?
Your photo, the text read from it and the analysis stay on your account, in your history, until you delete the scan or the account. What is shared is the product, never the person: the ingredient profiles your scan taught us, and the product itself in the rankings. The rankings show products, not people.
06Do brands pay to appear or change a score, and do advertisers get my data?
No brand can pay for placement or to move a rating; if that ever changes it will be disclosed on this page before it ships. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which receives your device advertising identifier only if you consent — decline and you still get ads, just non-personalised ones. Your health and dietary data is never used for advertising, we do not sell personal data, and ads never influence a score.
07Is this medical advice?
No. UnPeel is for information only — not medical advice and not a medical device. If you have an allergy, always read the physical label.
08What does Premium cost, and what does free actually get?
One scan a week is free, no ad. After that, a short rewarded ad pays for the next scan. The analysis is identical either way — the same score, effects, alerts and coverage a paying user gets. Premium is $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year, about half the monthly price. It removes the ads, opens Browse — every product anyone has scanned, ranked within its category — checks your dietary rules on every scan (20 categories, 12 one-tap presets), compares two products side by side with one named the better choice, and keeps a daily streak.
09Does it work where I live?
The app reads any label printed in English and cites the FDA, EFSA and WHO. It launches on Android first.
10When does it launch?
Android first. There is no public date yet — the waitlist gets one email when there is.
ComingfirsttoAndroid.
No public date yet. One free scan a week, and the same analysis for everyone.
