Australia's Best Food Scanner App
KnowYourFood is the most comprehensive food scanner app built specifically for Australian shoppers. Unlike international apps like Yuka (which is designed for European markets) or the dated FoodSwitch, KnowYourFood is built from the ground up for Coles, Woolworths, ALDI, and IGA shoppers.
With over 96,000 Australian products in our database, simply scan a barcode and instantly see a clear health score (0-100), the Nutri-Score grade, NOVA processing level, a full additive breakdown, and healthier alternatives available at the same supermarket.
Supported Australian Supermarkets
KnowYourFood works with products from all major Australian supermarkets including Coles, Woolworths, ALDI, IGA, and independent grocers. Over 96,000 products analysed and growing daily. Any product with a barcode can be scanned — if it's not in our database yet, we'll look it up from Open Food Facts and add it automatically.
