- The page says scan history stays on the phone and names Open Food Facts and USDA FoodData Central as ingredient sources.
Field notes
The interface accepts a barcode scan or a product name or barcode number, then describes a comparison across four jurisdictions. Its stated source trail combines regulatory references—the FDA, EU, UK FSA, and Health Canada—with ingredient data from Open Food Facts and USDA FoodData Central. The page says prior scans stay on the phone and warns that ingredient records may be incomplete or out of date; the extracted view does not include a completed scan.
