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: Seed Oil Food Scanner
Scan a barcode. See every seed oil, dye, and additive hiding in your food — and get one 0–100 score that shows you its own math.
Tallow is a real food scanner for people who actually read labels. Point your camera at any grocery product and Tallow breaks it down in seconds: every ingredient rated and explained in plain English, ultra-processing flagged, packaging graded, and a straight thumbs up or thumbs down against the standards you set.
WHY THIS SCORE — NO BLACK BOX
Every product starts at 100 and loses points for what's actually in it. Tap "Why this score" and every deduction is right there, line by line:
• Harmful ingredients: −40, −10, or −3 each, depending on severity and position on the label
• Ultra-processed (NOVA 4): −10 · Processed (NOVA 3): −5
• Risky packaging (plastic and risky food contact): up to −8
• Certified organic: +5
No paid placements. No brand can buy a better grade. And when there isn't enough data to judge a product, Tallow says "unrated" instead of faking a clean 100.
LAB-TESTED CONTAMINANTS
Select products carry independent lab results for heavy metals, PFAS, and other contaminants that never show up on an ingredient list. When a product's been tested, you'll see the confirmed findings and the exact limits they're measured against.
YOUR STANDARDS — A VERDICT, NOT JUST A NUMBER
Tell Tallow what you refuse: seed oils, artificial ingredients, ultra-processed, high sugar, high carbs, risky packaging. Every product you scan gets a plain thumbs up or thumbs down against your list — and shows you exactly which check failed and why.
EVERY SEED OIL, BY NAME
Canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, rice bran — plus the label tricks that hide them: "vegetable oil," "plant-based oil," salad oil, shortening, margarine, hydrogenated and interesterified oils. Called out by name, every time.
INGREDIENTS, EXPLAINED
Tap any ingredient to find out what it actually is, why it's rated the way it is, and whether it's worth avoiding.
HEALTHIER SWAPS
Flagged product? Tallow surfaces a better-scoring alternative from the same shelf, so you're not left standing in the aisle with nothing to buy.
PANTRY SCORE & STREAKS
Save what you scan, build a scanning streak, and earn badges as your habits improve — one number tells you how clean your kitchen actually is.
KID-SAFE MODE
Toggle it on and Tallow grades harder: harmful ingredients, ultra-processing, and risky packaging all count 1.5×. Built for parents reading labels for their kids.
SEED OIL FREE RESTAURANTS
A community-rated map of restaurants across the U.S., scored on seed oil use, additives, and plastic contact. Rate the places you know and help the map grow.
BUILT FOR
• Seed-oil-aware shoppers
• Parents reading labels for their kids
• Carnivore, ancestral, paleo, and animal-based eaters
FREE AND PREMIUM
Scanning is free and unlimited — the score, your standards verdict, saved products, pantry score, profiles, and the restaurant map all cost nothing.

Review momentum
66/100
faster than 69% of Food and drink apps
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
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.
LOCAL FARMS MAP
