Bar Code Biter

by Hamilton Roder

Scan or upload any barcode and take a bite out of it: the product, its ingredients, allergens, additives and nutrition, the company behind it, and what every single digit means.

Point your camera at a barcode – any angle works – or upload a photo of one, or type the numbers in.

About Bar Code Biter

Scan a barcode with your laptop webcam or phone camera, upload a photo of one, or type the digits in. Bar Code Biter decodes it on your device, then looks the number up in free, open databases.

Privacy: your camera feed and photos never leave your device. Only the barcode number is sent to the open databases. Camera scanning needs the page to be served over HTTPS.

Product data is crowd-sourced by Open Food Facts contributors, so a few products may be missing or out of date. Always check the pack if allergies matter.
