User Reviews

Reviewers praise Open Food Facts for helping identify ultra-processed foods and managing allergens via scanning, with useful allergen filters and a strong community. However, recurring issues include large data gaps (many products not recognised), privacy concerns and mandatory data permissions, slow loading and uploading of information, and a clunky UI with bugs that hampers navigation and item-contribution. Overall value comes from free allergen-focused info and community-driven data, but usability and database completeness remain significant drawbacks.

Pros

Helps identify ultra-processed foods to support diet goals.
Scan a product to quickly access its information.
Strong allergen support (gluten-free/Coeliac) and customizable filters.
Active community and positive reputation (best food facts app, wonderful community).
Free to access allergen information; editing/OCR is helpful.

Cons

Many products aren’t recognised and data gaps limit usefulness.
Privacy concerns and mandatory account/photos (data permissions).
Slow loading, updates, and unreliable data when product information is missing.
Cumbersome UI/UX with bugs, dead screens, and difficult navigation.
Difficult to contribute or add new products; limited item-management features.

Recent reviews

The main reason I was trying this app was to scan for allergens. Unfortunately, despite the customizability of many settings, the list of allergens is fixed and does not include soy -a major oversight!

A very useful and friendly application. I really like it and I recommend it with confidence. Because it remembers a lot of details about the products, at first glance it may seem complicated. But after a while the logic is very easy to understand.
