Yuka app adds product scores to online stores

Yuka, a mobile app used by 23 million people in France, has begun showing product ratings directly on online retail sites. This change allows users to see the app’s health and environmental scores without needing to scan a barcode during online shopping.

Partnerships with 14 retail stores

Yuka has partnered with 14 retailers, including Intermarché and Carrefour, to display product scores on their websites. These stores have already added the ratings to product pages for thousands of private label and national brand items.

Retailers adopt green e-commerce practices

The initiative is seen as a bold step toward fully transparent and eco-friendly online shopping. Retailers have not turned down the proposal, and many have integrated the scores into search filters and product listings.

Free ratings for cosmetics and hygiene products

Yuka provides the ratings at no cost to retailers, covering all products from top-rated (75 to 100/100) to low-rated (0 to 24/100). Cosmetics and hygiene brands like L'Arbre Vert and Caudalie have also joined the effort, with more expected by year-end.

Helping consumers make informed choices

The app helps users understand why a product is rated poorly, such as high levels of additives or sugar. This encourages more thoughtful purchasing and promotes healthier habits among users.

Expanding database and global reach

Yuka’s database now includes 6 million product references, with 3,500 new entries added daily. The app is available in 15 countries, including Brazil, Mexico, and Portugal, where it targets growing concerns about obesity.
