The food scanner for health, planet and price.
One scan brings together the three questions most food apps split apart — how it fits your goals, what it costs the planet, and what it costs you.
Then cook recipes wired to real products, plan your week, and get a heads-up if something in your kitchen is recalled. 4M+ products · independent & EU-built · no ads.

Point. Scan. Know.
Most scanners hand you a letter and stop. Forkin reads the same barcode three ways — and shows its working on every one.
≈ 0.9 kg CO₂e / kg — farm to factory gate

Every number links to its public source. See the methodology
The whole kitchen, from one app.
A scan is where it starts. Forkin quietly grows into your cookbook, your planner, your diary, your food-safety net — and a living world of its own.
Recipes, wired to real products
Every ingredient links to a real, scored product. Cook it, rate it, fork it, share it — and Forkin already knows if it fits your goal.
A week that respects your goal
Drop recipes on a week grid. Forkin filters by vegan, flexitarian, Mediterranean and more, watches B12 · iron · omega-3, and builds the shopping list.
One photo, macros in seconds
Point at a plate and tap once. Foods, grams, calories and macros — usually in about five seconds. No logging each ingredient.
A diary that fills itself
Every scan, meal snap and cook log lands in a private diary, automatically — the trend builds without a single manual entry.
A recall net under your kitchen
Five official feeds — openFDA, Health Canada, France's RappelConso, the EU Safety Gate, and the Dutch NVWA — are checked against your scans and pantry. If a match appears in the data we receive, Forkin sends a push after the feed update.
A living 3D world
It grows as you eat better — trees, estimated animals spared, a streak worth keeping. And 30% of net revenue from every treat is reserved for conservation.
Explore it in 3DEat a little better, watch it grow.
This isn't a lecture with a red letter. Every good scan, cook and price grows a small island of your own — greener land, new trees, and animals your choices helped spare. It's the same 3D world on your phone and on the web.
Understand what you eat — before you scan it
Plain-language guides to Nutri-Score, ultra-processing, E-numbers and EU allergens — the same science Forkin runs on, written for people, not regulators.

The honest answers
- Is Forkin free?
- Yes. Scanning, the Forkin Score and the full environmental-impact breakdown are free forever, on millions of products. Premium adds meal plans, AI calorie counting and store price alerts.
- Is my data private?
- Forkin is built and hosted in the EU on infrastructure running on renewable contracts and low-carbon grids, with no ads and no selling of your data — ever. It is GDPR-first by design, so your scans and goals stay yours.
- What makes Forkin different from other food scanners?
- One scan answers three questions most apps split apart: how a product fits your health goals, what it costs the planet, and what it costs you. The scoring is independent — no brand can pay to change a score.
- Does Forkin work offline?
- Yes. Forkin keeps the most-scanned products cached on your device, so barcode scanning keeps working in the shop even when the signal does not.
- How many products and languages does it cover?
- Over four million products, with the app available in 32 languages. Coverage is strongest across the EU and keeps growing as the community scans.
