About Eticko
Eticko is an iPhone app that tells you what is inside a food product, right at the shelf. Scan the barcode and get a score from 0 to 100. Every score shows the numbers behind it, and the app suggests products with a higher score in the same category.

How the score is calculated
Score model 1.0. The score has three parts and 100 points. Eticko calculates it on the iPhone from Open Food Facts data.
| Part | Points | How |
|---|---|---|
| Nutrition | up to 60 | Energy, sugars, saturated fat and salt lower it; fibre, protein, fruit and vegetables raise it. Per 100 g, using the 2023 nutrition algorithm of Santé publique France. |
| Additives | up to 30 | Points are deducted for additives with high or moderate risk according to EFSA, and for additives on the ANSES list. |
| Organic | 0 or 10 | Certified organic (EU logo on pack). |
A product with an additive of high risk, or with nutrition in the lowest class, scores at most 49. When data is missing, the app shows no score or a provisional one and says what is missing.
| Band | Score |
|---|---|
| Excellent | 75–100 |
| Good | 50–74 |
| In moderation | 25–49 |
| Occasionally | 0–24 |
Every score names its source and date. The score describes product data and is not medical advice. Change log: 1.0, first version.
