Open Food Facts - Product Scan

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!

The database of foods is much larger than I expected. I knew we consumed more ultra processed foods than we should but some of the foods I thought were healthy were actually ultra processed.<br/><br/>This is a great app and look forward to it continued success.

This app has lots of potential. I am able to scan products, but when it comes to collaborate adding to the database it requires an account. I made an account in the computer before I tried this app. The app keeps telling that user or password are wrong. I was not able to create a new account either.

I’m so impressed by the developers who created an open source food database that’s free. It has amazing data in it. However, it needs some polishing. Ceating an account is unnecessarily glitchy. You can’t get an ampersand for the email address because it gives a phone keyboard for the account ID. I found a workaround by using the microphone feature of your phone. Then it gave me a regular keyboard for some reason. Small things like that should be easy to fix. Then I would not hesitate to change my rating from 4 to 5. I guess it might be difficult to test the fix since one only registers once.

This could be such a great app if more people utilized it and input data on the food that they’re eating.

This app is updated regularly, and is very useful to understand labels

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 to love this ap; it is something we all need to offload the decision making process in choosing the right foods when we don’t have time to look up every ingredient. but the developers need to test us more because it keeps crashing when I try to sign up for an account.
