Food Facts
Look up food by barcode
Look up a packaged food by its barcode, search for products, compare them side by side and check a product's listed allergens. Ask "what is in the product with barcode 3017620422003?", "find oat milks sold in France", "which of these three barcodes has the least sugar?" or "does this product contain milk or nuts?". Food Facts reads Open Food Facts, a free database that people around the world add to by scanning and photographing labels. A product answer shows the name, brand, size, ingredients, the allergens and traces the entry lists, the Nutri-Score and NOVA group when known, and nutrition per 100 g (energy, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, fibre, protein, salt and sodium). Because the data is crowd-sourced, it can be incomplete, wrong or out of date, and recipes change. Every answer says how complete the entry looks and reminds you that the physical label wins, especially for allergies. The allergen check reads the entry's listed allergen tags and its ingredients text. It is a data lookup, not a safety guarantee, and not dietary or medical advice. Coverage is strongest in France and Europe and thinner in the US and Asia. For recalls of food products, use the Recalls plugin. Data © Open Food Facts contributors, available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL) v1.0. It stores nothing about you: answers are cached for a few hours, and the only lasting record is a daily count of calls per tool.

Food Facts: Look up food by barcode. Use these tools for questions about packaged food products identified by barcode or name. Call for one product, to find barcodes by name or brand, to rank up to five barcodes by sugars, salt or kcal per 100 g, and to see whether a product's listed allergens include ones the user wants to avoid. The data is crowd-sourced: always mention the data_quality_note and tell the user to check the physical label, and never describe an allergen check as a guarantee that a product is safe. If returns unknown true, say the entry has no allergen or ingredient data. Credit Open Food Facts. Do not give dietary or medical advice. Open Food Facts has no recall data: say so when asked about a recall. This server allows 60 tool calls a minute per network and 5,000 a day for all callers together; the day count resets at 00:00 UTC. If a tool fails, gives a wrong answer, or a tool you need is missing, call with one short message (kind, message, tool); reads the answer.
