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 Greenscore (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.
- We collect prices to document shrinkflation, inflation and more

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 Green-Score (formerly 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.
- You can use the app anonymously
- Your food data is yours, and is never sent online

Set up allergen alerts on products

### 2/5 — Waste of time

*2026-08-04*

It’s free for a reason. Literally half the foods I scanned had no data. And I was scanning common foods like SunChips and Grits. How do you not know what grits are???

### 5/5 — Gute App

*2026-07-14*

Tolle Übersichten und Informationen

### 5/5 — Food Checker

*2026-04-03, version 4.23*

Amazing app, Can’t believe it is free, Use it every time I go shopping to check I’m not consuming any ultra processed foods, Couldn’t be more happy :)

### 1/5 — Can’t even get in

*2026-03-30*

I want to love this app, as the promise to never sell out to companies is amazing, however I can’t get past the country selection. The “next” button doesn’t even work.

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2025-12-10, version 4.22*

Very helpful as I am celiac

### 1/5 — Ничего не находит!

*2025-12-09*

Написано, что в базе 3 миллиона товаров. Просканировал дома 5 штрих кодов и всегда один результат: «Вы нашли редкий товар в нашей базе его нет». Жаль, что не работает. Удаляю.

### 1/5 — quite dissapointing

*2025-11-11, version 4.20.1*

this could have been much much better
