Nomi on The One Show

BBC's The One Show featured Nomi as a go-to tool for spotting ultra-processed foods — helping viewers make smarter, healthier choices every time they shop.

How it works

From shelf to verdict in seconds

No nutrition degree required. Point your phone at any food product and let Nomi do the reading.

1

Scan or snap

Scan the barcode, or photograph the ingredients label when there isn't one. Both take seconds.

2

Get an instant verdict

A clear answer — Not Ultra-Processed or Ultra-Processed — based on the NOVA system, with the reasons why.

3

Understand every ingredient

Tap through for a plain-English breakdown of each ingredient — what it is, and whether it's cause for concern.

Clear verdicts

No jargon. Just a straight answer.

Every product gets an unambiguous verdict backed by the NOVA classification — the same framework used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.

  • Plain-English explanations of why a product is or isn't ultra-processed
  • Ingredient-by-ingredient breakdown — spot the additives at a glance
  • Suggested swaps — healthier alternatives you can buy instead, with where to find them

FAQ

Good questions

Is Nomi free?

Yes. Nomi is free to download on iOS and Android, and you can start scanning straight away — no subscription required to try it.

What counts as “ultra-processed”?

Nomi uses the NOVA classification system — the same framework used by researchers and dietitians. Foods made with industrial formulations and additives such as emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, colourings and flavourings are classed as ultra-processed (UPF).

What if a product has no barcode?

Just photograph the ingredients label instead. Nomi reads the list, explains each ingredient in plain English and gives you a clear verdict.

Does it work offline?

Scanning uses the internet to look up product data and analyse ingredients, and we keep things fast even on poor connections. Your camera works offline.
