Standing in the grocery aisle wondering “can I eat this while pregnant?” is exhausting. Instead of searching food by food, point your phone and know in seconds. See the full app on the Muka home page.
How the scanner works
1. Scan or snap
Point your camera at a product barcode, or photograph your plate. The analysis starts on its own.
2. Get your verdict
Safe to eat, in moderation, or best avoided — with a clear reason: listeria, toxoplasmosis, mercury, caffeine…
3. Find a safe swap
When a product isn't recommended, Muka suggests a safe alternative from the same family.
What it checks for
- Listeria (soft cheese, deli meat, smoked fish, raw-milk products)
- Toxoplasmosis (raw or undercooked meat, unwashed produce)
- Mercury (high-mercury fish such as swordfish, marlin, shark)
- Caffeine (the ~200 mg/day limit across coffee, tea, soda)
- Alcohol and unpasteurized products
Free, with optional Premium
Scanning food for safety is free and unlimited, with no ads. An optional Premium plan (5-day free trial) adds nutrition and pregnancy weight-gain tracking.
