FAQ
Simply scan or upload a photo of any product barcode, or enter the barcode number manually. BarcodeSense instantly retrieves product information from global databases and uses AI to analyze ingredients, nutrition, environmental impact, and provide personalized recommendations.
AI insights are advanced analyses powered by artificial intelligence that help you understand products better. This includes finding healthier alternatives, checking diet compatibility (vegan, keto, gluten-free, etc.), analyzing environmental impact, and generating creative recipe ideas using scanned products.
We source product data from comprehensive global databases with millions of products. While we strive for accuracy, product information is provided for informational purposes only. Always check the physical product label for the most up-to-date information, especially for allergies or dietary restrictions.
While our database covers millions of products worldwide, some items—especially local or newly released products—may not be available yet. If a product isn't found, you can still manually enter product details, and our AI can analyze ingredients and nutrition information you provide. We're constantly expanding our database coverage.
