Why Yuka, MAHA & FDA Compliance Should Be Part of Your U.S. Strategy

 

Yuka: A Game-Changing App for European Food Brands Entering the U.S. Market

The U.S. food landscape is rapidly shifting, driven by growing health awareness and movements like MAHA (Make America Healthy Again), led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This initiative is pushing for transparency, clean labeling, and higher nutritional standards across the food system.

In this environment, consumers aren’t just reading labels, they’re scanning them.

One of the most influential tools gaining traction is Yuka, a mobile app originally developed in France that now helps millions of American users evaluate products based on ingredient quality, additives, and nutritional value. A strong Yuka score can significantly affect purchasing decisions, shelf positioning, and even overall brand perception.

At TWeE grupo, we’ve been monitoring how Yuka is quietly becoming a powerful channel for health-forward products, especially for European brands looking to enter or grow in the U.S. market.

Many EU products already meet or exceed U.S. health standards, but they need to be accurately labeled, translated, and aligned with U.S. regulations to fully capitalize on platforms like Yuka.

But visibility alone isn't enough.

To earn consumer trust and comply with U.S. import regulations, products must feature labels that meet FDA requirements: proper nutrition facts, ingredient declarations, allergen warnings, and formatting. And for products labeled as organic, compliance with the USDA’s National Organic Program (NOP) is critical. Without this, even high-quality products risk being denied entry, facing penalties, or losing consumer confidence.

Getting listed and scoring well on Yuka is not advertising. It’s authentic validation through transparency. And it works.

At TWeE grupo, we help brands understand how Yuka works, navigate FDA and NOP label compliance, prepare effective listings, and position products strategically for U.S. retailers and digital platforms.

This isn’t just a marketing tool it’s a strategic entry point into the future of food credibility. And we’re here to help you lead it.
