Scan food.
Know what's inside.
Point your camera at any barcode and Barliva reveals an explainable 0–100 health score, a full ingredient breakdown, additives, allergens and nutrition — in plain language. No product on file yet? Snap the label and Barliva reads it for you.
A food intelligence platform,
in your pocket.
Barliva turns the barcode on a product into clear, structured knowledge. Every scan is backed by a food‑intelligence pipeline that resolves messy, multilingual product data into canonical ingredients, additives and allergens — then explains what it means for you, in plain language.
Barcode scanning
Point the camera at any barcode — or type it in by hand — to pull up a product in seconds.
Product information
Brand, name, images and category — the essentials, structured and consistent across products.
Ingredient transparency
Every ingredient identified and classified, with additives mapped to their E‑numbers.
Nutrition facts
Energy, sugar, fat, salt and more — laid out clearly, with the values that move the score.
Additives & allergens
Set the allergens you avoid and Barliva flags them; additives are explained, not just listed.
Label analysis
If a product isn't on file yet, photograph the label and Barliva reads it to build the record.
Three steps to a smarter choice.
Scan the barcode
Open Barliva and point your camera at the barcode. No match in the camera? Enter the digits by hand, or snap the label to analyze it.
Barliva analyzes it
Barliva looks up the product and breaks down its ingredients, additives, allergens and nutrition into structured, explainable data.
See what's inside
Get a 0–100 health score with every factor that raised or lowered it — plus healthier alternatives in the same category.
Real screens from the Barliva app.
Every screen below is captured straight from the app — nothing staged.
Everything about a product, in one tap.
Scan any barcode in a tap.
Open the app and point your camera — Barliva detects the barcode and pulls up the product. No camera match? Enter the barcode on a keypad, or photograph the label to analyze it.

- Manual entry for 8, 12, 13 and 14‑digit codes

A 0–100 score you can actually understand.
Every product gets an explainable score. Tap “Why this score?” to see exactly which factors raised or lowered it — from sugar and saturated fat to additives and processing — so the number is never a black box.
- Clear 0–100 score with a plain‑language verdict
- Every contributing factor shown, up and down
- Category‑aware, so foods are judged fairly
Ingredients, additives and allergens — explained.
Barliva breaks the label into structured data. Tap any ingredient or additive for what it is, why it's used and what to know. Additives are matched to their E‑numbers, and the allergens you choose to avoid are flagged automatically.
- Every ingredient identified and classified
- Additives mapped to E‑numbers (e.g. E322 lecithin)
- Personal allergen alerts you control
Find a better option, instantly.
When a product scores low, Barliva suggests higher‑scoring alternatives in the same category — and you can put two products side by side to compare nutrition, additives and ingredient quality before you decide.
- Healthier alternatives in the same category
- Side‑by‑side product comparison
- Compare nutrition, additives and ingredient quality
Snap the label and Barliva reads it.
If a barcode isn't in the database yet, take a few photos of the front, nutrition table and ingredients. Barliva extracts the details to build the product — detailed analysis typically takes about 30–90 seconds — and it's community‑powered, so coverage keeps growing.
- Guided multi‑photo capture (front, nutrition, ingredients)
- Reads the label to create a structured product
- Community‑powered — every scan improves coverage
