How we explain data
FoodClarity makes existing product data easier to understand without pretending to provide medical certainty or an opaque overall score.Data source
Ingredients, allergens and nutrition come from Open Food Facts, an open product database. FoodClarity does not assign a hidden score. Open Food Facts
From barcode to record
The camera reads the barcode number; it does not analyse the food’s composition. We look up that number in Open Food Facts. Compare the name, brand and pack size with your item: similar packages may have different barcodes or recipes. You can also enter the number manually.
Packaging language
If a language-specific version is missing, the original entry is shown. Packaging text is not auto-translated.
Nutrition and portion calculations
We display the nutrition fields available in the source. Missing values are unknown, not zero. The portion calculator scales the available values in proportion to the amount entered; it does not measure the food. Always compare the same reference amount on the package and in the table.
Allergens and limitations
For allergies and intolerances, the current package remains decisive. Community data can be incomplete.
Checking and correcting information
Open the product’s source link and compare its ingredients and values with your current package. If they differ, you can correct the record at Open Food Facts or report the barcode and discrepancy to us. A database update is not an inspection of every package by FoodClarity.
