About FoodFact
A free, independent nutrition database for foods sold in the United Kingdom.
FoodFact started from a simple frustration: it's hard to compare packaged foods at the grocery store. Nutrition Facts labels are printed in tiny type, every brand formats them a little differently, and there's no easy way to check what's really inside a product. We bring this information together in one place — nutrition facts, ingredient lists, allergens and food additives — and make it free to access.
What you'll find here
- Detailed nutrition information per 100 g and per portion: energy, fat, saturates, carbohydrate, sugars, fibre, protein, salt, vitamins and minerals
- Full ingredient lists for every product, including ingredients worth knowing and food additives
- Allergen information (contains / may contain)
- Front-of-pack style colour coding for fat, saturates, sugars and salt, by our calculation from the declared values
- Side-by-side product comparisons
- Guides on reading food labels, sugar, salt, fats and food additives
Data sources and methodology
Nutrition and ingredient data comes from Open Food Facts, an open database of food products built by contributors from product labels, available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL). We normalise the data after import: standardising ingredient names, converting units to a common per-100g/100ml basis, and filtering out values that look erroneous. Product images come from Open Food Facts contributors (CC BY-SA).
The database is updated on an ongoing basis. Every product page shows when its label data was last updated.
What %RI means
%RI (Reference Intake) shows how much of an average adult's daily reference intake (8,400 kJ / 2,000 kcal) one portion provides. Reference intakes are not targets: needs vary with age, sex and activity.
How our guides are written
Our guides are published by the FoodFact editorial team. Each article is built on primary sources — food law, guidance from regulators and official nutrition data — and names them in the text, so you can check them yourself.
We draft articles with the help of AI writing tools and check them against the cited sources before publishing. When the rules change, we update the article: the date at the top shows the latest revision.
Buying guides link to Amazon searches. Where these are paid links we say so on the page, and manufacturers don't pay us to feature products.
Limitations to know
- Manufacturers change recipes and labels over time. There may be a gap between the data on this site and the actual package — the label on the product is always the authoritative source.
- "Vegan," "gluten-free," and similar labels on this site are calculated algorithmically from ingredient data and are not a substitute for regulatory certification. If you have an allergy or sensitivity, always check the package.
- This site does not provide personal medical or nutrition advice.
