Free to try — no account needed.

Frela showing a score of 89 out of 100 for organic edamame, rated Excellent in the legumes category.

Three seconds, one honest number

Most scanners only work on packaged products that are already in a database. Frela works on the rest too.

1

Point at the barcode

Frela looks the product up in Open Food Facts, the largest open food database, and scores it instantly.

2

No barcode? Scan the label

Frela reads the ingredient list with on-device text recognition — so imported, fresh and obscure products work too.

3

See why, not just what

Every score opens into a breakdown showing exactly what pushed it up and what pulled it down.

Your track record

Every scan is kept, counted and ranked. Ten ranks to climb, and a daily streak that makes checking labels a habit.

How the score is built

No black box and no AI guesswork — the score is calculated the same way every time, from four things.

🍽️
Nutrition The official Nutri-Score 2023/2024 tables from Santé publique France.
⚗️
Additives Rated by the riskiest additive in the list, not the average.
🏭
Processing How far the product sits from real food, via the NOVA classification.
🌱
Organic Certified organic earns back points that conventional farming doesn't.

The four parts are weighted by what kind of food it is — a cooking oil isn't judged like a soft drink. When a product's data is incomplete, Frela says so instead of inventing a flattering number.

Questions

Where does the product data come from?

Barcode scans are looked up in Open Food Facts, the world's largest open food database, which has particularly strong European coverage. Label scans are read on your device with text recognition.

What if a product isn't in the database?

Scan the ingredient label instead. Frela reads the label text and scores it the same way, which works on any packaged food — including imported and store-brand products that databases tend to miss.

Is the score just Nutri-Score again?

No. Nutrition is one of four inputs, and it does use the official Nutri-Score tables. Additives, ultra-processing and organic certification are scored separately, and the four are weighted differently depending on the type of food.

Does Frela need an account?

No. There is no sign-up, no email and no password. Your scans live on your phone.

Is this medical advice?

No. Frela is an information tool for everyday food choices. It doesn't diagnose anything and it isn't a substitute for professional medical or dietary advice.

Which languages does it speak?

English and German. Frela follows your device language, and you can override it in Settings.
