Restaurants don't print
ingredient lists. So we do.

We dig out the full ingredient list for every menu item we cover — emailing the restaurant, asking staff, tracing every brand and supplier. Each dish is split into the food components a human would recognise (chicken, sauce, rice, etc.), and scored on a 0–100 scale based on what's actually inside. You see every ingredient, color-coded, with a one-line description. A research tool you check before you order — not a diet app you log into after.

Every ingredient in a dish gets a color: red for industrial (additives, fillers, refined oils, modified starches), amber for refined-but-clean, green for real food. The score for a dish follows from what's actually there — the more red and amber, the lower it scores. The full rubric, including how individual ingredients are classified, lives in the app.

Restaurant allergen sheets, full ingredient lists, verified sourcing pages and supplier disclosures — read by hand, item by item. When something isn't disclosed, we say so on the item. We don't fill gaps with guesses.

£49.99 a year. One subscription, no upsells, no ads. We charge you so we don't have to take money from the chains we score — that conflict of interest is the whole reason crude exists.

10 UK chains today — McDonald's, Greggs, Pret, KFC, Subway, Nando's, Pizza Express, Joe & The Juice, Chipotle, Farmer J. Roughly 8,000 UK locations between them, around 950 menu items scored. New chains land each week. Independents and regional chains follow. If a restaurant you want isn't in the app, you can flag it from inside.

UK first. The App Store listing is global, but the chains and items in the app today are UK-curated — UK ingredient sheets, UK suppliers, UK shops. We're rolling into other markets next; the rubric is geography-agnostic, the data isn't yet.

Yuka rates packaged supermarket goods. Calorie apps don't read ingredient lists at all. crude scores restaurant food — the kind without a barcode — by what's actually inside it. Different shelf, different problem.
