The barcode is wrong or not found: how do I log this product correctly?

Modified on Fri, 24 Oct at 2:56 PM

Quick Answer  


Add the product manually with packaging photos (front, ingredients list, nutrition facts). Our AI extracts fields; you confirm product name, brand, quantity, serving size, ingredients, and nutrition facts.  



Context  


When a barcode isn’t recognized, creating a new product keeps your log accurate and speeds future entries (it will appear in “recently used”).  



How it works  


1. Start logging in the Nutrition card → Create new product  

2. Upload packaging photos (front, ingredients list, nutrition facts)  

3. Confirm auto-detected fields and complete any missing details  

4. Save — available for quick reuse next time  


Good to know  


• Submissions are reviewed (typically within ~2 days)  

• Recently used products surface faster; no “favorites” yet  

• We’re expanding regional databases continuously
