Scan
A score in under a second. From the label, not from the marketing.
Read
The camera reads the barcode on the phone. No photo leaves your hands. Damaged code? Type it, or let the label reader take it from the nutrition table.
Score
The food score is computed on the phone, and every point comes with its line on the label: what raised it, what lowered it, what is still missing. A number with reasons, not a verdict.
Decide
See suggested products, compare two packs line by line, and find a shop near you that sells what you scanned. What the source does not know stays a range, never a guess.

Recalls
The recall finds you. Not the other way round.
Food safety notices are published every day, in places nobody reads. befood checks them against what you scanned and what you bought, and sends one notification when it matters: the product, the lot, what to do.
- Lot numbers read from the pack with the camera
- Sources named, linked, and dated
- Off by default. On per kind, in your profile.
Receipts
One photo of the receipt. Your whole shop, scored.
One photo. The whole shop.
Nobody scans thirty items at the checkout. Photograph the receipt: befood reads it on the phone and matches every line.
The photo stays on your phone. Only the text you choose to save reaches your account. From any confirmed product you can search nearby supermarkets in the app.
Independent
No ads. No brands. Open data.
Nobody pays to be here. befood is not sponsored, does not sell placement and never will: a score you can buy is not a score.
Product data comes from Open Food Facts, the open database built by people like you, and from the USDA. Corrections you make go back to the commons.
Label and receipt photos stay on the phone. An optional profile picture is stored with your account. Without an account, nothing about you reaches us at all. With one, you can delete everything in a single tap. Read the privacy page.

Questions
What the score does. And what it does not.
Three contributions, computed on the phone: Nutri-Score 2023 for nutrition (60%), assessed additives (30%), and 10 points when organic certification is documented. Open the detail to see every line and the threshold that decided it.
See the exampleNo. Coverage varies. Missing fibre, an uncertain category or an unreviewed additive becomes a range, never a guess. What the source does not know stays visible.
Try incomplete dataA score summarises selected characteristics of a product. It cannot establish personal suitability, allergy safety or the quality of a diet. Check the actual label.
The last word is yoursOne photo reads the shop. When a match has a complete record, you see the food score; otherwise a range. Suggested products sit next to each line so you can pick the right pack. The photo stays on the phone; only the text you keep reaches your account.
Follow the receiptYes. From a product you scanned — or a confirmed line on a receipt — you can search nearby supermarkets in the app. It uses your area or location to list shops; it does not confirm that a particular pack is in stock.
Scan, then find shopsOff by default. On per kind, in your profile. befood checks published notices against what you scanned and what you bought, and sends one notification when it matters: the product, the lot, what to do.
