Scan food barcodes to import nutrition data

Last updated : 11 juin 2026 ID: HT10013

Scan bags and cans of pet food to automatically import product names, weights, and ingredients.

Note: Imported caloric densities are used to automatically estimate the recommended gram ration.

Steps to follow:

  1. Open the Pet Pantry (Garde-Manger) from the Home screen.
  2. Tap the Scan Barcode button.
  3. Align the food barcode inside the camera frame.
  4. The app queries the public collaborative Open Pet Food Facts API (with an offline fallback) using Apple's AVFoundation camera framework to retrieve the product name, weight, and calories. Confirm or edit details manually if needed.
Tip: Once the item is logged, you can assign it as your pet's default food selection.
