This page collects everything a journalist, podcaster, or editorial outlet needs to cover Nime: boilerplate copy, quick facts, brand assets, and direct contact. If you’re writing about EU food regulation, the additive-research conversation, the consumer food-scanner category, or the gap between front-of-pack claims and ingredient lists, we’d like to help.

Boilerplate — short (one sentence)

Nime is a food intelligence app for European shoppers that translates ingredient lists into plain English and grades products on four research-backed risk measures (additives, ultra-processed level, pesticides, microplastics) with a single 0–100 Harmfulness score.

Boilerplate — long (paragraph)

Nime is a food intelligence app for European shoppers, launching on iOS and Android in 2026. Scan a barcode and Nime returns a single 0–100 Harmfulness score on the product, weighted from four independent risk measures — additives, ultra-processed level, pesticides, and microplastics — with plain-English explanations for every ingredient on the label. The methodology is built on current EU regulation, EFSA evaluations, peer-reviewed research (including the French NutriNet-Santé cohort), and member-state food authorities. Nime is available in five EU locales on dedicated domains: nimescan.com (EN), .nl, .de, .fr, and .es.

Quick facts

What we’ll comment on

Topic areas where we’re happy to provide on-the-record comment or background:

• EU food regulation updates— the 2026 BPA and PFAS packaging bans, EFSA’s mixture-effect guidance applicable from July 2026, the updated Nutri-Score 2026 algorithm, France’s November 2025 vote on mandatory Nutri-Score, the Dutch sugar tax in 2030, Voedingscentrum’s 2026 Schijf van Vijf revision.
• Food additive research— emulsifiers and the gut microbiome, NutriNet-Santé findings on E471, E407, E433, and E466, the “cocktail effect” and why mixture testing matters.
• Ultra-processed foods— NOVA classification and its limits, the high-protein category as a UPF case study, why “plant-based” isn’t automatically less processed.
• Sweeteners and the aspartame debate— the WHO IARC 2023 classification, NutriNet-Santé cardiovascular findings, what regulators currently say and where they don’t agree.
• Microplastics and food packaging— why packaging chemistry is hard to verify per-product, the 2026 PFAS ban and what it does and doesn’t cover.
• The consumer food-scanner category— how Nime differs from Yuka, Open Food Facts, Foodvisor, and other scanners; what each approach gets right and what each misses.

What we won’t do

We don’t comment on specific competitor product quality beyond the factual methodology comparison on our Yuka comparison page. We don’t make health claims about specific products — our score is a research-aware lens, not a medical verdict, and we say so. We don’t fabricate or exaggerate research findings; if a finding is observational, it stays observational.

Press coverage

As a pre-launch company, Nime hasn’t yet been covered in the press. This section will fill out post-launch. If you’re running an early piece, we’d be happy to comment, send the embed code, and add your byline to a coverage page once it’s published.
