Barcode Scanning for Food

VitalSync can identify packaged foods from their barcodes and automatically populate nutritional information.

How to Scan

  • Tap LogNutrition+ Add Meal.
  • Tap the Barcode icon.
  • Point your camera at the barcode on the package.
  • VitalSync identifies the product and shows a product verification card with the name, barcode number, and confidence level.
  • Review the nutritional values and tap Save.
  • Supported Barcodes

    VitalSync supports EAN-13, UPC-A, and QR codes on food packaging.

    What If My Product Isn't Recognised?

    If the barcode isn't recognised, switch to Photo mode and photograph the nutrition label directly. The on-device Vision model will extract the values from the label text.
