Decipher food labels
We decipher products labels for you. You'll find:
- Nutrition: The Nutriscore (nutritional score), nutrients, fat, transfat, carbohydrates, sugars, fiber, protein, salt & sodium.
- Environment: The Ecoscore (including carbon footprint (CO2 emissions), packaging (as well as recycling instructions), environmental labels (organic, quality etc.), and origins of ingredients)
- Other: brands, allergens, labels (bio, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher...), traceability information (packaging codes, origins, food factories)
- On wines and beers, you'll find the alcohol content.
Our grades are science-based, and Open Food Facts is helping science!
- We don't make up things. We rely on peer-reviewed science.
- The Nutri-Score has been created by the independent French team led by Professor Hercberg.
- The NOVA groups on food processing have been designed by the international team of Professor Monteiro.
- The additives synthesis is based on reviews by EFSA on exposure levels on food additives.
- The Eco-Score is based on ground breaking data by ADEME, the French environmental agency, adapted for the world.
- The Open Food Facts community is collaborating with research teams across the planet for research that benefits all.
Your food, your data. Privacy-friendly app.

Useful and Practical
This is so useful. The NOVA scale should be on all foods instead of traffic lights.
The best app if you’re going ultra-processed free
As some one who is beginning their journey to being 100% ultra process food free, this app is invaluable! I encourage others to catalogue any new products they encounter when shopping, it’s actually a lot of fun and quite educational!
No good
I really wanted this app to work as I have a great interest in ultra processed food. However, this app does not recognise many (only about 10%) UK foods and when I try to add the product and provide information the app won’t let me. sadly therefore I will be deleting it.
Open food facts app
Would be better if you could also include your own options of things you’d like to always remove , eg; sunflower oil .
Very helpful
Really helpful to plan meals with ingredients according to my preferences. The contribution system is simple too. I predict this app will be very important for my focus on finding and eating non UPF
Could be great
This could be great. An app like this is needed. However not many products were recognised here in the UK. Also even ‘clean’ foods were marked as ultra processed. I wanted to contribute information to help the app but was unable to complete the sign in process. I think the product information could be better represented so that more people could make useful sense of it. Good luck!
Great idea but….
App won’t allow editing of unknown products - please fix it as I want this App to work!
Not good
Great idea, shame it’s so frustrating! Cannot get the app to scan products- it needs to be quick when shopping. After taking the trouble to try and complete information on a product not found, won’t accept and save info.
Could be great
I’ve only just found out about and started using this app and I do think it could be excellent, especially given very real concerns about UPFs, additives etc. I’m quite careful anyway but with dragging my glasses out, squinting at tiny labels and reading through them in a busy supermarket is a real pain, let alone working out what is recyclable etc etc- sometimes you just don’t know. Just for interest and practice I scanned a couple of items in my son’s kitchen, having set my preferences - including gluten content as I can’t eat it. Item two - big rookie error! App says a product is gluten free when it is not! App identified oats (the only cereal in the granola) as a gluten free item, presumably. Unless oats are specifically identified as gluten free oats they are not! Oats get cross contaminated in growing - alongside gluten containing cereals, or in processing alongside them. This would be a big problem if a user used the app to buy and prepare food for a coeliac, especially if the user is not coeliac themselves, and the food item is served up as ‘GF, I checked’ without the packaging being present. Also it’s an error in your analysis. I would have preferred to notify developers directly but couldn’t find a way of doing so. I hope you are listening.
