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.

It was better

I chose this app because it had the NOVA food classification clearly indicated as first result. Now it is hidden among other information.

Amazing Work. But…

The world NEEDS this. Huge THANK YOU to the community of developers making it happen. One of the key aspects that drew me to the app is that it is open source. As such, I expected to find that the app allows data to move in and out easily. I was disappointed to see no support for Apple Shortcuts in the app. I also don’t see any import or export capabilities. Hopefully, these are on the roadmap as they are essential to me. I can’t code, unfortunately, but will look to contribute other ways.

Amazing

I was over the moon when I found the website and am so happy there is something like this. I’ve been searching for something like this website/app for too long. This should be shared everywhere!

Love the idea but it crashed three times in the first two minutes.

I want to love this ap; it is something we all need to offload the decision making process in choosing the right foods when we don’t have time to look up every ingredient. but the developers need to test us more because it keeps crashing when I try to sign up for an account.

Amazing resource, Easy to use app

After reading the book “Ultra Processed People” by Chris van Tulleken I was on a hunt to identify where to find info on what’s Nova 4 or not, and this app made it way easier than I thought would be available. It’s quick to scan and tell you what matches your mandatory categories and even when the product is not in the database, it’s quick to take a pic and have the app transcribe it and categorize it for you! The nutritional information is a bit more manual to enter, so if you’re using the app for that purpose it wouldn’t be as nice of a solution, and some improvements could be made, but for a crowdsourced resource, it’s exceptional. The main downside is I look like a bit of a crazy person scanning everything at the store!

Needs More Users!

This could be such a great app if more people utilized it and input data on the food that they’re eating.

Finally a convenient way to avoid ultra processed foods

The database of foods is much larger than I expected. I knew we consumed more ultra processed foods than we should but some of the foods I thought were healthy were actually ultra processed. This is a great app and look forward to it continued success.

Works as described but lacks data

This is a great idea. The problem is that although the scanner recognizes the product (at least generically, but often not the specifics such as the brand) there is no data in the dB for many products. The first four items I scanned all asked ME to enter all the data from the package. Tsk tsk. If you’re crowdsourcing the data it’s going to take a while before this app becomes useful.

Cannot sign-in

This app has lots of potential. I am able to scan products, but when it comes to collaborate adding to the database it requires an account. I made an account in the computer before I tried this app. The app keeps telling that user or password are wrong. I was not able to create a new account either.

Wonderful but could easily be 5

I’m so impressed by the developers who created an open source food database that’s free. It has amazing data in it. However, it needs some polishing. Ceating an account is unnecessarily glitchy. You can’t get an ampersand for the email address because it gives a phone keyboard for the account ID. I found a workaround by using the microphone feature of your phone. Then it gave me a regular keyboard for some reason. Small things like that should be easy to fix. Then I would not hesitate to change my rating from 4 to 5. I guess it might be difficult to test the fix since one only registers once.
