Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

About Tallow: Healthy Food Scanner
Scan a barcode and see the seed oils, additives and dyes in your food, checked against the standards you set. Tallow also scores skin care, shampoo, sunscreen and other personal care products.
Point your camera at any packaged food, drink, supplement or personal care product. Barcode won't scan? Snap the front of the pack and Tallow finds the product by name; if it isn't sure, Photo Analysis builds a page from your photo. Either way, you see what is in it, in plain English.
WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE
• Unlimited barcode scanning, plus photo search and Photo Analysis when a barcode won't scan
• Your standards verdict: a thumbs up or down against your standards, with the check that failed
• The full ingredient list, each ingredient rated Good, Caution or Avoid and explained
• Lab results on 1,700+ tested products
• Nutrition facts, where available
• The restaurant map and the local farms map
YOUR STANDARDS
Pick from 30 standards, including:
• Seed oils, artificial ingredients, ultra-processed foods (NOVA group 4), possibly GMO, insects and lab-grown meat
• Allergens: gluten (wheat, barley, rye and regular oats), dairy, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, eggs, sesame, fish and shellfish
• Vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher and a pregnancy check
• High sugar, carbs, sodium or saturated fat, and the riskiest packaging
One failed check means a thumbs down. Checks Tallow has no data for show a "?". Allergen and gluten checks read the ingredient list only and cannot detect cross-contact, so Tallow never calls a product allergen-free or gluten-free. Halal and kosher need a certification.
SEED OILS, BY NAME
Canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, rice bran and peanut oil are flagged by name, including when a label hides them as "vegetable oil" or shortening.
LAB-TESTED CONTAMINANTS
More than 1,700 products have independent lab results for heavy metals, PFAS and other contaminants that never appear on an ingredient list: what was found, what was not detected, and the limit each is measured against.
KID-SAFE MODE
With Premium, Kid-Safe Mode takes 5 points off the Tallow score of any product never independently lab tested.
RESTAURANT MAP
A map of restaurants across the U.S., rated on seed oil use, additives and plastic contact by Tallow and by the community, with a seed-oil-free filter. Rate the places you know.
LOCAL FARMS MAP
Find more than 40,000 farms, farmers markets, CSAs, farm stands and food hubs near you. Filter by raw milk, eggs, meat, dairy, honey and baked goods.
MISSING A PRODUCT?

About Tallow: Healthy Food Scanner
Tallow is a healthy food scanner and ingredient checker. Scan a barcode and see the seed oils, additives and dyes in your food, checked against the standards you set. Tallow is also a cosmetic scanner.
Point your camera at any packaged food, drink, supplement or personal care product. Barcode won't scan? Snap the front of the pack and Tallow finds the product by name; if it isn't sure, Photo Analysis builds a page from your photo. Either way, you see what is in it, in plain English.
WHAT IS INCLUDED AT NO COST
• Unlimited barcode scanning, plus photo search and Photo Analysis when a barcode won't scan
• Your standards verdict: a thumbs up or down against your standards, with the check that failed
• The full ingredient list, each ingredient rated Good, Caution or Avoid and explained
• Lab results on 1,700+ tested products
• Nutrition facts, where available
• The restaurant map and the local farms map
YOUR STANDARDS
Pick from 30 standards, including:
• Seed oils, artificial ingredients, ultra-processed foods (NOVA group 4), possibly GMO, insects and lab-grown meat
• Allergens: gluten (wheat, barley, rye and regular oats), dairy, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, eggs, sesame, fish and shellfish
• Vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher and a pregnancy check
• High sugar, carbs, sodium or saturated fat, and the riskiest packaging
One failed check means a thumbs down. Checks Tallow has no data for show a "?". Allergen and gluten checks read the ingredient list only and cannot detect cross-contact, so Tallow never calls a product allergen-free or gluten-free. Halal and kosher need a certification.
SEED OIL CHECKER
Canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, rice bran and peanut oil are flagged by name, including when a label hides them as "vegetable oil" or shortening.
SKIN CARE, SHAMPOO AND PERSONAL CARE
Tallow scores more than 50,000 personal care products, including skin care, shampoo and conditioner, body lotion, sunscreen, deodorant, toothpaste and makeup.
LAB-TESTED CONTAMINANTS
More than 1,700 products have independent lab results for heavy metals, PFAS and other contaminants that never appear on an ingredient list: what was found, what was not detected, and the limit each is measured against.
KID-SAFE MODE
With Premium, Kid-Safe Mode takes 5 points off the Tallow score of any product never independently lab tested.
RESTAURANT MAP
A map of restaurants across the U.S., rated on seed oil use, additives and plastic contact by Tallow and by the community, with a seed-oil-free filter.
