Built on guidance from
Every flag, score, and warning EggYolk surfaces is grounded in published guidance from these bodies. We cite our sources on every result.
Three steps. Two seconds.
Scan
Open EggYolk and point your camera at any product barcode. The app reads it in under a second — no typing, no menus.
Verdict
We pull product data from Open Food Facts, run it against your child's stage rules, and return a clear SAFE / NEEDS ATTENTION / AVOID call.
See why
Every flag is plain English with the actual citation — WHO, NHS, FDA. No vague 'avoid this' — you see exactly which rule applied and where it comes from.
Point. Scan.
Know in seconds.
A real verdict — not a Nutri-Score. We read the full ingredients, check allergens, flag additives, and tell you what actually matters for your child's stage.
When a product is missing data, we won't guess — we'll ask you to snap the label and score it for the next parent too.
One app.
Every kid.
Pregnant and have a toddler? Both get their own profile, their own rules, their own history. A food safe for your 2-year-old isn't always safe at 4 months — EggYolk knows.
Built for the brands
you actually buy.
Every major baby and pregnancy brand across the EU, UK and US — plus the supermarket private labels parents reach for first. Don't see yours? Snap the label and we'll add it.

Clear answers.
No hedging.
Real products. Real scores. Same product can score differently depending on the stage you're scanning for.
Whole-fruit pouch, no added sugar, no additives. Within NHS sugar threshold.
~80mg caffeine + taurine. NHS advises against energy drinks throughout pregnancy.
11g sugar per 100g — well above NHS infant threshold. Free sugars not recommended under 12 months.
Fruit-only puree, organic, no added sugar, salt or thickeners.
Missing ingredients or nutrition? EggYolk tells you exactly what's missing and lets you snap the label so every parent benefits next time.
Four layers,
one verdict.
Most food scanners give one generic score. We run every product through four checks tuned to who you're scanning for.
Hard rules — the absolutes
We start with non-negotiables: high-mercury fish in pregnancy, honey for infants under 12 months, alcohol while breastfeeding. If a hard rule fires, the product is flagged before we even look at nutrition.
Stage-specific watch list
50+ ingredients and packaging concerns checked per stage: azo colours, sulphites, BPA in cans, plastic codes 3/6/7, high salt, high added sugar, banned-in-EU additives. Each fires a warning and shapes the score.
Nutritional thresholds
We compare salt, sugar, saturated fat and key nutrients against age-appropriate guidance. A toddler-fine sugar level may flag for a baby under 12 months — same product, different verdict.
Personal stage tuning
Pregnant? Breastfeeding? Toddler at home? EggYolk knows who you’re scanning for and re-scores accordingly. One product, the right answer for *your* stage.
Every flag links to its source. Every score can be challenged. We update rubrics as guidance evolves — last reviewed April 2026.
Why you can
trust the verdict.
Parents deserve an app that works for them, not for the brands on the shelf.
No company pays for a better score. Ever. This is the line we will never cross.
Every rule ties back to published guidance from WHO, NHS, FDA, EFSA or peer-reviewed research.
Each concern shows why it matters and where the standard comes from. No vibes-based flags.
Recall alerts
for your pantry.
We'll notify you the moment a product you've scanned is recalled by the FSA, FDA or EFSA — long before the news catches up.
