Open Food Facts

Directory entry · last reviewed 2026-08-22

Free open data for global barcode and packaged-product lookups, no key needed to read (a custom User-Agent is required). The cost is licensing, not money: ODbL attribution and share-alike can require you to open derived databases. No approval gate is documented in the sources we checked, which is not the same as there being none.
