The UK calorie counter that also reads the ingredients
Log a meal by name, by barcode, or by photo, and NutraSafe counts the calories and macros. It also reads the ingredients: the additives on the label, and your vitamins and minerals against the UK guideline amounts. Food, workouts, fasting and reactions all sit in the same diary.

One diary for food, additives, vitamins and workouts
Food, additives, vitamins, workouts, fasting and reactions, all logged in the same diary.
Log food by barcode, name or photo
Type a food, scan its barcode, or photograph the whole plate. NutraSafe finds it in the UK database, branded and own-brand, and fills in the calories, the macros and the additives off the label, then adds it to your day.
Pick the meal and the portion and your running totals update as you go: calories, protein, carbs, fat and fibre against your targets. Logging is free for up to 25 foods a day; Pro lifts the cap and adds the AI photo scan for home-cooked and restaurant meals.
AI meal scanner
For a home-cooked dinner or a restaurant plate with no barcode, take a photo. NutraSafe's AI reads the plate, names each item, sausages, mash, peas, and estimates the calories and macros for the lot.
It is an estimate, and it says so on the card, so you can open any item, adjust the portion, and add the meal to your day. It is the quickest way to log the food that never came with a label. (Pro.)
Food additive scanner
A calorie counter stops at the number. NutraSafe reads the ingredients list too: scan a product and it pulls out every additive, flags the ones that carry a watch-out, and sorts them by how much is actually known.
Tap any one for the plain-English version, what it is, where it turns up, and, where there is published research, the concern and who published it, right on the line. You get the evidence and the source, so what you make of it is your call.
Vitamin and mineral tracker
Every food you log is checked against 14 vitamins and 12 minerals, measured to the UK Nutrient Reference Values rather than a generic chart.
So instead of one calorie figure you see where you actually stand: what you are consistently hitting and what you keep falling short on, day by day and week by week. The UK's national diet survey keeps finding gaps in vitamin D and folate that people only catch from a blood test; this shows the pattern first. (Pro.)
Workout tracker
Log sets, reps, weight and personal bests by hand, or pull runs, rides and calories straight from your Apple Watch through Apple Health.
Because training sits in the same diary as your food, the two line up: the protein you ate against the session you did, the calories in against the calories out. No second app, no copying numbers between them. (Pro.)
Food reaction tracker
After a meal, note how you felt: energy, mood, sleep, skin, and gut symptoms like bloating. It is a couple of taps and it attaches to the exact foods you logged.
Over weeks the diary joins the dots, which foods keep turning up on the days you felt rough, and surfaces the suspected triggers. It is your own record, built from what you actually ate, not a generic list of foods to avoid. We do not diagnose intolerances; we give you something solid to take to your GP or dietitian. (Free for 5 reactions; full history and trigger analysis on Pro.)
What a barcode scan shows you
Scan a can of Coca-Cola
The scan returns more than calories. Coca-Cola comes back as a Bad, 19 out of 100, with the sugar, the additives and how processed it is behind the score.
The nutrition is straight off the can. Every additive carries its source: E150d, the caramel colour, is flagged to IARC. Tap in for the plain-English detail on each one and where the concern was published.
Spot the foods that don't agree with you
Counting calories tells you how much you ate, not what you were short of.
National Diet and Nutrition Survey, 2019 to 2023
The UK NDNS 2019 to 2023 report (gov.uk, June 2025) found 18% of UK adults had low vitamin D status, and 83% of women of childbearing age had red-cell folate below the threshold associated with reduced neural-tube-defect risk.
Most people only learn about gaps like this from a blood test, after the fact. Log a normal week on Pro and the dashboard tells you, for instance, that you hit folate on two days out of seven. That's not medical advice, and we won't tell you to take a supplement, but it's the kind of fact you can take to your GP or dietitian.
We're a tracking tool, not a clinician. We don't diagnose, we don't prescribe. We surface the pattern.

Tracker FAQ
The questions we see most in app reviews and support. If yours isn't here, our contact page goes to a real inbox.
We give you one place to log every meal, snack and drink, then add up calories, macros and (on Pro) micronutrients across the day and week. Once a food is logged, you see the nutrition breakdown, the additive flag, and it adds to your daily totals.
Three ways. Scan a barcode (any UK GTIN/EAN, the same format every UK supermarket uses). Search the food database by name. Or take a photo with AI meal scan for restaurant or home-cooked food. Pick a portion, hit add, and we update your daily totals. Free users can log up to 25 foods a day; Pro lifts the cap.
Yes. We track 14 vitamins and 12 minerals against the UK Nutrient Reference Values. You can see what you're consistently short on, day by day and week by week. Vitamin and mineral tracking is a Pro feature (£3.99/month or £34.99/year, iOS).
The download is free. The free tier lets you log up to 25 foods a day, scan UK barcodes for additives, log up to 5 reactions, and use the E-number library on this website. Pro is £3.99 a month or £34.99 a year on iOS and unlocks vitamin and mineral tracking, AI Coach, AI meal scan, allergen warning detail, fasting, workouts, suspected-triggers analysis and processed-food insights.
Yes. We read the standard UK barcode (GTIN/EAN), the same format every UK supermarket uses. Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl, Co-op, Waitrose own-brands and branded products all look up the same way.
Yes. Every food in your diary can have a reaction logged against it (bloating, headache, energy, mood, sleep, skin, gut). Free users get 5 reactions; Pro opens up full history and suspected-triggers analysis, which flags foods that keep showing up before symptoms. We don't diagnose; we surface patterns to take to your GP or dietitian.
Not yet. We.re iPhone only at the moment. We'll list an Android release on the website when there's one to list.
A calorie counter gives you one number, energy in. A food tracker gives you the full picture: calories, yes, but the macros, fibre, salt, vitamins, minerals, additives and reactions behind that number too. Calorie counting tells you how much you ate; tracking tells you what.
