Recalls
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.
Receipts
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
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.

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.
