MAHA AI Ingredient Checker: This is a paid subscription app that helps you make informed choices about the products you buy. Scan the ingredients (not the product barcode) and seconds later it will rate that product.  The best is 100.  It will even tell you why the rating was marked down.  Most times, it will recommend a better brand product if the rating is too low.

Bobby Approved Ingredient Checker:  This is a free app that also identifies products that are cleaner and better. Less than 10% of products found at most grocery stores qualify for the Bobby Approved stamp of approval. To receive a "thumbs up," it must be free of seed oils, refined or artificial sugar, harmful preservatives, GMO’s, artificial or “natural” flavors, harmful pesticide and chemicals, artificial food colorings, ultra processed ingredients, harmful toxins and harmful fragrances.
