Three breads. Three major brands. Two high-risk additives removed. 🍞

Bread should be simple: flour, water, yeast, and salt. Yet many everyday loaves contain unnecessary harmful additives, including mono- and diglycerides and monocalcium phosphate.

The good news? These three popular brands have reformulated their products and removed both additives, proving they were never essential in the first place.

Mono- and diglycerides may increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease and are suspected of disrupting the gut microbiota.

Monocalcium phosphate contributes to phosphorus intake, which is already too high for many people. Excessive intake may affect the kidneys, bone mineralization, and cardiovascular health.

These additives are especially concerning in bread, a product many people eat every single day.

Reformulation is not only possible, but in progress! 💚

Same product, different standards: shower edition 🚿

These three popular shower products may look identical, but their formulas are very different. The U.S. versions contain risky ingredients that are absent from the European versions.

We often see this with food, but personal care products are no exception.

And just like that… 3 new countries! 🇵🇹🇧🇷🇲🇽

After 6 years without opening new markets, Yuka is back on the international stage.

So for this big comeback, we’re not doing things halfway: not one… not two… but three new countries!

🇵🇹 Portugal
🇧🇷 Brazil
🇲🇽 Mexico

Ten years after the app first launched, it felt like the perfect time to return to our roots ❤️

These three launches mean a lot to us. Behind each one is the same belief: everyone should have access to clear, independent information about what they buy, no matter where they live.
