Barcode to Nutrition (Open Food Facts)
Turn product barcodes (UPC/EAN) into clean product and nutrition records: name, brand, quantity, ingredients, allergens, per-100g nutriments, Nutri-Score, NOVA processing group, and Eco-Score. Powered by Open Food Facts, the open, community-maintained food database, no key required.
Input
- Barcodes: UPC-A, EAN-13, or EAN-8, one per line. Spaces and hyphens ignored.
- Max delivered products: cap on billed rows (0 = no cap).
Output
One row per product found, with the fields above plus provenance (sourceUrl is
the product's Open Food Facts page, retrievedAt, confidence, dataSource).
How it works
Each field is copied from the Open Food Facts record; nothing is inferred. Open
Food Facts is community-maintained, so completeness varies by product, a field
that is not in the record is null, never guessed. A barcode not in the database
is written to the free rejected dataset and is not billed.
Billing
Pay per product found. Barcodes not in the database cost nothing.
Sample output
A real run turning UPC/EAN barcodes into food facts (Open Food Facts):
| barcode | product | brand | Nutri-Score | kcal/100g |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 737628064502 | Thai peanut noodle kit incl… | Simply Asia, Th… | d | 385 |
| 0049000028911 | Diet Coke Soft Drink | Coke | b | 0 |
| 3017620422003 | Nutella | Nutella, Yum yum | e | 539 |
| 5449000000996 | Original Taste | Coca-Cola | e | 42 |
Every row carries a sourceUrl to the product record, for example https://world.openfoodfacts.org/product/737628064502. Barcodes not found route to the free reject dataset.
Why this one
- Every field is copied from the product's Open Food Facts record, with a
sourceUrlto that page. Nothing is inferred or filled in. - You pay only for a barcode that resolves to a product. Codes not in the database go to the free
rejecteddataset at no charge. - No key and no subscription. Run one barcode or a hundred thousand; the price is per product found either way.
- Countries and categories are read from the canonical English tags, so you get "United States" and a clean category name, not a mix of languages.
Use cases
- Enrich a product catalog or a receipt-scanning app: turn a scanned UPC or EAN into name, brand, ingredients, allergens, and per-100g nutrition.
- Build a diet or grocery tool: pull Nutri-Score, the NOVA processing group, and Eco-Score for a list of products.
- Screen for allergens or additives across an inventory: the ingredients and allergen fields come straight from the record.
- Fill gaps in your own product data: match your barcodes against the open database and keep only the rows that resolve.
