Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free iOS and Android app that scans food and cosmetics barcodes, then presents ingredients, additives, calories, and a product-quality rating.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-05 issue.

Field notes

The app matches a photographed barcode against a product database and returns label-oriented information, including additives, calories, and a numerical rating. The homepage separates food and cosmetics and shows examples such as cereal biscuits, almond butter, and potato chips, each with a 21/100 score. Mira presents its funding and scoring as independent of brands, while qualifying that its method is inspired by scientific studies and Nutri-Score but is not approved by a health authority.
