Frequently Asked Questions

Pura is a mobile app that allows users to scan barcodes of food products and receive a "score" indicating the product's healthfulness. Pura makes it easy for consumers to understand the ingredients and nutritional information on complicated food labels, empowering them to make informed, healthier choices.

Pura works by using your phone's camera to scan barcodes of food products. The app then accesses a database of products and their scores, based on ingredients and nutritional information, to provide a score for the product you scanned. This score makes it easier for you to understand the healthfulness of the product at a glance.

Pura can scan barcodes of a variety of food products, including packaged snacks, drinks, and meals. The app's database is constantly growing, so if you can't find a product you're looking for, you can request for it to be added.

Pura's scores are based on the latest nutritional information and ingredient data available. The app uses a proprietary algorithm to determine the scores, taking into account factors like calorie count, macronutrient profile, sugar content, sodium content, fiber content and the presence of any harmful ingredients. While Pura's scores are intended to provide a general guide to the healthfulness of a product, they are not a substitute for individual research or medical advice.

Pura allows you to keep track of all the products you've scanned, along with their scores, in your scan history. You can easily access your scan history by tapping on the "History" tab in the app.

Yes, you can! If you can't find a product you're looking for in Pura's database, simply tap on the "Request Product" button in the app and provide the product's name and barcode number. Our team will then work to add the product to the database as soon as possible.
