> Search, compare and find more than 1,3,000,000 food products
This app lets you scan 1,3,000,000 products from the Open Food Facts database. The app can be used collaboratively. You can upload pictures and data, even if you don’t own the product. This will give you the Nutri-Score or NOVA score for food processing. We are, in short, “the Wikipedia of food”, which many have referred to the project as. Open Food Facts enabled the creation over 100 apps such as Yuka, Date Limite and FoodVisor. To discover the volunteer-run Open Food Facts project, visit https://world.openfoodfacts.org/discover

> Science-based grades. The project is helping science to come back!
We don’t invent things. Peer-reviewed science is what we rely upon. The independent French team, led by Professor Hercberg, created the Nutri-Score. The international Monteiro team designed the NOVA groups for food processing. Based on EFSA reviews on food additives exposure, the additives synthesis was developed. Open Food Facts is working with researchers around the world to improve nutrition research that benefits everyone.
