Literally.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Look at that!&#8221; she says showing me her phone. 0\/100 is marked in red lettering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;This is one of Malo&#8217;s [her 12-year-old son&#8217;s] favourites but it&#8217;s not only full of sugar and saturated fats, there are four additives as well including one health risk,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Nathalie clicks on the additive in question: E450. &#8220;A mineral which, taken in excess, can lead to bone marrow and kidney problems,&#8221; she reads.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Honestly, that they can put this sort of thing in food aimed at children drives me nuts!&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">We scan an Italian alternative whose packaging gives you the impression those biscuits have been hand-made by peasant women wearing black shawls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The score is not much better: &#8220;Malo hates shopping with me now,&#8221; says Nathalie. &#8220;You spend ages scanning and he can never have what he wants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The app, having activated the red alert, suggests a healthier alternative. It&#8217;s organic, containing wholewheat, fruit and fibre. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;You end up buying a lot more organic stuff so it&#8217;s more expensive,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Nathalie is one of a growing number of people using Yuka, an app developed in France, to shop more healthily. Not just for food but cosmetics and toiletries too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Download it and you can use your phone to scan the barcodes of any one of the six million products on the Yuka database (about 1,200 new ones a day) and it&#8217;ll tell you immediately \u2013 green for good, red for bad, yellow for could be better. If you want to know more, you can delve further. Pages and pages if you want.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Started in 2015, Yuka now has 85 million users in 12 countries: numerous European ones plus the US, Canada and Australia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The third-biggest user is the UK with around five million, second is France with six million, but the biggest by a very long way is the US with 28 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Yuka has some high-profile fans in the US. For example, Donald Trump&#8217;s Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F Kennedy Jr, says it&#8217;s his favourite app. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
