- Open Food Facts is a non-profit project made by thousands of volunteers from around the world. Why don't you join us ?

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 Ecoscore (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.

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 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

- Do you have a Milk, Gluten, Eggs, Soybeans, Nuts, Fish, Celery, Mustard, Sulphites, Peanuts, Sesame seeds, Crustaceans, Molluscs or Lupin allergy ?

Alexusseglio ,

And?

The app only show the ingredients that are already on the product, so what difference does it make?

Unfortunately the key information are missing, one of them will the one million dollars question : does it contains cancerous chemicals?

Developer Response ,

Hi Alex,
The app will calculate and show you the NutriScore, a simple grade on the nutritional quality of the product (A being the best, E the worst), and now it also shows you the Nova-Score (on the processing level of the product, 4 being the worst, 1 the best).
The 2 scores were created by independant scientific teams from France and Brazil. Finally we extract and color the food additives.
Until today, it was hidden in the sections you had to click to expand, but that should change tomorrow or in the next few days.

Pierre, on behalf of the volunteer team
