Amazing open resource! Both fascinating and useful. We all need to avoid UPFs and this app helps you do that. Super handy for vegans, too. Especially handy when traveling or moving to a new place. The vast majority of DE and UK foods were in there already. Easy to add in new foods and find out about them, too.
Waste of time 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???
Very good app This app is updated regularly, and is very useful to understand labels
Where is your firm from? Why is it so hard to see where your firm is located/ based?
What I wish could change and I hope will I’ve been using Open Food Facts lately and it’s an amazing app but what I would love to see in a app is to see if a meal/dish/recipe is processed or unprocessed and it also doesn’t look up the products that I want! Going to a new app!
Better than Yuka & Fig OpenFoodFacts is free and community built. Fig makes you pay to scan food products, which as someone who has food allergies I think is ludicrous. OpenFoodFacts has worldwide information and details on more products than Yuka. My only complaint is that the app version for OpenFoodFacts is a bit slow, so I prefer the website version. This app seems really promising and I'm excited to help add to the food database.

I want it to work Can’t find nothing. I scanned and all I get is ‘error’. Don’t bother.
Very Good Nutrition App I use this app to get access to collaborative nutrition facts about products, and it also contains prices
Pepsi compared to 100% juice A can of Pepsi Max turned out to be a C and a box of 100% juice was an E....doesn't make any sense....maybe a good scanner but a poor algorithm for nutrition.
Good Idea, Bad Execution Open source data is an excellent idea. But forcing people to create an account to use it is bull and I simply refuse to do it. App is rated accordingly.

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
