Point your phone at a barcode. Get the real answer.

This service turns any grocery barcode into a trustworthy Nutrition Facts label — calories, protein, allergens, the works — by merging lab-tested USDA data, a crowdsourced product database of 3M+ items, and GS1's global product taxonomy into one answer. No app store install, no account, no cost, no ads.

Try it three ways

All three hit the same underlying data — pick whichever fits how you're using it.

📱
Scan in the aisle
Point your phone's camera at a barcode. Installable straight to your home screen — Android and iPhone.

🔢
Look up a barcode
Have the digits already? Type or paste them for the full product card.

Why this beats a single source

No single public food database is complete or fully accurate on its own — so instead of picking one, this service takes the best of each and lets the strongest source win field by field.

USDA FoodData Central
The federal government's lab-tested nutrition data — authoritative for calories, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Wins whenever it has an answer.
Open Food Facts
A crowdsourced, open database of 3M+ products worldwide — the source for product photos, ingredient lists, and allergen warnings.
GS1 GPC
The same product-category standard retailers and manufacturers use — tells you not just what a product is, but what kind of thing it is.
