Wondering whether a packaged food is ultra-processed?

Features:

• Scan a packaged-food barcode with the camera or enter it manually.
• Search by product name and choose from matching product variants.
• See whether available Open Food Facts data places the product in NOVA group 4.
• Understand all four NOVA processing groups in plain language.
• Review the ingredient list directly below the NOVA result.
• Open source-supplied NOVA 4 markers for a short explanation.
• See up to three verified category-based NOVA 1–3 comparisons when available.
• Review the product name, brand, source date, and data-quality warnings when available.
• Open the source record on Open Food Facts.
• Get an honest "Unknown" result when the source does not provide usable data.

NOVA describes the nature and purpose of food processing. It is not a nutrition score, medical diagnosis, or medical advice.

Open Food Facts is community-maintained, so records may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. Product lookup requires an internet connection.

Ultra-Processed? has no account, advertising, developer analytics, tracking, or developer-stored scan or search history. Camera recognition happens on your iPhone. Product searches, barcode lookups, marker explanations, and alternative-product requests are sent securely to Open Food Facts. Open Food Facts may log the request and network information under its own privacy policy.
