Hello! I understand you’re having trouble scanning baby food with the Yuka app. I want to help you get this sorted out. Just to clarify a couple of things before we dive into solutions: - When you say it can’t scan baby food, do you get an error message, or does it just not recognize the product? - Have you been able to scan other products successfully? - Are you scanning products with a barcode?
Usually, if a product isn’t recognized, it could be because Yuka’s database doesn’t have that exact item or its ingredients are too specific for evaluation. Baby foods sometimes fall into this category1. But first, let’s check some basics:
1. Camera permissions: Since you’re on an Android device with WebKit browser and OS version 10, please make sure the Yuka app has permission to use your camera. To check: - Go to your phone Settings > Apps > Yuka > Permissions > Ensure Camera is enabled.
2. Internet connection: The app needs internet access to check product data. Confirm you have a stable connection and that the app is allowed to use cellular data if not on Wi-Fi.
3. Barcode presence: Baby food typically has barcodes. However, if you are trying to scan products without barcodes, Yuka cannot scan those as it relies on barcode data to pull product info5.
4. App updates: Make sure your app is updated to the latest version from the Google Play Store, as updates improve scanning and database functionality.
If all the above checks are good but you still cannot scan baby food, it might be because Yuka doesn’t have detailed data for that specific baby food product yet. In that case, the app may not show results for evaluation.
Would you please try these steps and let me know your results? If needed, I can guide you through advanced troubleshooting like reinstalling the app or reconnecting your account.
Are you satisfied with this initial solution so far?
