How it works

A verdict, not a report.

In the shop aisle or at home. Scan once, and you know what you're holding in a second.

1

Scan the barcode

Point your camera and it scans by itself. No barcode? Snap the pack or the ingredients list and mochi reads it for you.

2

See the verdict

The Nutri-Score as a word (excellent to bad) with one short line on why. Your allergens come first. Ingredients, nutrition and processing are a swipe away.

3

Keep it in your food-dex

Every product becomes a sticker, and you'll hear if it's ever recalled. mochi grows as you scan.

Everything on the label

One scan. The parts of the label that matter to you.

Your allergens first

Watch for what matters to you.

Choose which of the UK's 14 major allergens to watch for. When a product contains one, or may contain one, it's the first thing you see.

  • The 14 FSA allergens, in plain words. Contains and may-contain, both shown.
  • Things you avoid. Palm oil, sweeteners, seed oils, colours, or your own words.
  • Honest when we don’t know. “Not on our data” instead of looking clear.

Recall alerts

Know when a food is recalled.

Every product you scan is checked against official recall notices. If one is recalled, you'll see it on home, with the notice's own words on what to do.

  • UK FSA and Hong Kong CFS notices. Checked against everything you’ve scanned.
  • A home alert and a push. Even for something you scanned weeks ago.
  • Brand track record. Past recalls and safety notices from six regulators.

Compare a few

Two honeys? See what differs.

Compare two or three products of the same kind side by side. mochi tells you what’s different. It never picks for you.

  • Grade, processing and allergens. Lined up, row by row.
  • Two or three of a kind. Honeys, olive oils, cereals.
  • You decide. No sponsored picks, no “best”.

Collect and grow

Every scan grows mochi.

Every product you scan becomes a sticker in your food-dex. Fill 8 shelves and 3 label hunts, keep a streak, or come back any time. mochi saves you a seat.

  • Stickers for every find. A re-scan never counts twice.
  • Sets and stamps. 8 shelves and 3 label hunts to complete.
  • Share cards. A great find, or how mochi has grown.

Meet mochi

A little friend who reads labels.

mochi reads every label with you, grows as you scan, and never tells you what to buy. Keep a streak going, or come back any time. mochi saves you a seat.

Food records nobody can quietly change.

Frequently asked

Everything people ask, before they download.

What is Vitababy?

Vitababy is a free food-label scanner. Scan a barcode or snap a label to see the Nutri-Score as a word, your allergens first, and a heads-up if a product you scanned is recalled.

Is Vitababy free?

Yes. Vitababy is free on the App Store and Google Play, with no subscriptions and no ads.

Do I need an account?

No. You can scan barcodes, collect stickers and get recall alerts without signing up. A free account lets you snap label photos and keep mochi safe across phones.

Where do the grades come from?

We show the product's Nutri-Score as a word: excellent, good, average, poor or bad. When a product isn't rated, we can estimate a grade from its label and say so.

Where do recall alerts come from?

Official recall notices from the UK Food Standards Agency and Hong Kong's Centre for Food Safety, checked against every product you scan.

Is it medical advice?

No. Vitababy helps you read labels. It doesn't replace the pack, or advice from a doctor or dietitian. Always check the pack for allergens.

Which languages does it speak?

English, Spanish, French, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
