How it works

From shelf to verdict in one scan.

No accounts to read. No nutrition science degree required. Just point and know.

01

Scan the barcode

Point your camera at any grocery product. Tarlo looks it up in a second.

02

See your verdict

An instant, high-contrast reveal: it meets your rules — or it doesn’t.

03

Know exactly why

The precise flagged ingredient or nutrient, in plain language — “Allura Red (E129)”, “sodium 18% DV”.

Your rules, not our score

You decide what counts as “junk.”

Every other scanner hands you their rating. Tarlo flips it: you switch on the things you want to avoid, and every scan is judged against exactly those — nothing else.

You start with synthetic dyes and high-fructose corn syrup on — toggle the rest anytime.

The moment of truth

Pass or fail. No maybes.

Tarlo leads with the answer — a bold, instant reveal you can read across the aisle. Then the exact reason, the full ingredient list with the triggers highlighted, and the key nutrition facts.
