About Open Food Facts

🔍 Scan, Discover & Compare Over 4 Million Food Products

The app allows to scan the 4 million products already contained in the free and open database Open Food Facts.

The app is collaborative. If we don't have the product, you can add pictures and data to get the Nutri-Score and NOVA score on food processing.

In short, we're kind of "the Wikipedia of food", as many have nicknamed the project. Open Food Facts has enabled the creation of over 100 apps like Date Limite, Yuka or FoodVisor.

🥦 Make Healthier Food Choices

➜ The Nutri-Score grade, from A to E : Nutritional quality

➜ The NOVA group, from 1 to 4 : Avoid ultra-processed foods (Group 4)

🌍 Join Our Mission for Food Transparency

➜ Open Food Facts is a food products database made by everyone, for everyone.

➜ You can use it to make better food choices, and as it is open data, anyone can re-use it for any purpose.

➜ You can start contributing today by adding a product from your fridge.

➜ Open Food Facts is a non-profit project developed by thousands of volunteers from around the world. We have lots of exciting projects you can contribute to in many different ways.

🏷️ Decode Food Labels with Ease

➜ Open Food Facts helps you decipher products labels. You will be able to find:

➜ carbon footprint (CO2 emissions) and packaging (as well as recycling instructions),

➜ Nutriscore (nutritional score), nutrients, fat / fat content, saturated fatty acids, carbohydrates, sugars, fiber, protein and salt and sodium.

➜ brands, allergens, labels (bio, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, halal, kosher ...), traceability information (packaging codes, origins of ingredients)

➜ On wines and beers, you will find the alcohol content.

🔬 Backed by Science, Supporting Research

➜ 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 Open Food Facts community is collaborating with research teams across the planet to improve nutrition research that benefits all.

🔒 Your food, your data. Privacy-Centric App
