What is Cereal Scan? Cereal Scan™ is an iphone app that will help you choose a better breakfast at the supermarket. Just scan a product's barcode, and immediately you'll get a snapshot of its pros and cons, as well as more nutritious alternatives. Cereal Scan helps you shop with confidence.

I can't find the product I'm looking for... There are thousands of different cereals sold in supermarkets across the country, and we are working hard to bring them all in to our database. If you would like, please mail us with your product request and we will do our best to add it to our database.

How do you recommend one product over the other? Cereal Scan uses evidence based science to analyze the nutrition label of each cereal in our database. The analysis takes into account "nutrients to encourage" such as fiber, "unwanted nutrients" such as saturated fat, sodium, and sugar, as well as information from the ingredient list. Based on this nutrient analysis, Cereal Scan can recommend better options.

I think you have a mistake in your data... Please contact us with the product information and we will make the necessary corrections.

How do you maintain your objectivity? We started this service as a means for us to choose the best foods for our children, families, and friends. Fooducate is not affiliated with food manufacturers. We do not sell any pills, supplements, or diets. There are no external factors influencing our process other than the nutrition analysis we perform.

Where can I learn more about food labels? Please have a look at the Fooducate blog, published daily, with plenty of information on food labels, nutrition booby traps, and practical advice for smarter food shopping.

I don't own an iPhone, when will you have apps for other phones? We are working on versions for additional phones. Soon, really. We promise...

I like what you're doing. How can I become involved? Thanks! Please give us a holler. We'd be thrilled.
