There are many such products sold in the market, which are packaged as a healthy choice, but they contain many ingredients which cause harm. However, all the products market themselves as healthy. In such a situation, how will you know which product is right for you and which is not?
In the digital world you don’t need anyone to figure this out. You can find out using your phone. Actually, there is an app which scans all the products available in the market and tells about the ingredients and additives.
Which app is it and where can you download it?

It is very simple to use. Data of more than 1 lakh products is already available in the app. However, if you want, you can check any product separately. For this you will have to turn on the scanner. The ingredients section of that product will have to be scanned.
