Add Photo Capture for Missing Barcode Items

I would like to suggest a feature enhancement for the barcode scanning function.
Currently, when scanning a product barcode that is not found in the database, there is no option to easily record the item. It would be extremely helpful if users could take a photo of the Nutrition Facts label in such cases. The system could then allow users to manually enter or extract the nutritional information and save the item to their food log.
This feature would improve user experience by making it easier to log new or unavailable products, reduce frustration when items are not found, and help expand the product database over time.
Thank you for considering this request. I believe this enhancement would add significant value to the app.

Hi Boyy If you scan a barcode and the item isn’t found in the database, you can tap + Scan Nutrition Label to capture the details directly from the package. For a faster manual entry, you can also use Create a Custom Food under My Foods to add the item yourself.
If this doesn’t quite address your feedback, please share a bit more detail about what you’re looking for, and I’ll be happy to help!

Needs urgent revision. The nutritional information of the specified foods is often incorrect.

I would really like to be able to state which country’s food database I’m using. The difference in nutritional values between US and UK McDonalds alone is substantial, with the UK generally better nutritionally, and it would be great if we could localise to what was available in our market and not just the US.
This only came up because Bevel Intelligence expressed concern I wouldn’t hit my macros, after which I educated it on the difference. It cheerfully directed me set the food database to UK under settings, which of course isn’t possible. Still, so long as the AI is hallucinating in favour of a more productive UX…!

With the workout feature that is available, having protein powder and workout supplements to the database would be great.

After adding food item to Food Log have the ability to add to Bevel Food database for future use and others to benefit (after Bevel verification).

Integration of the Dutch Nutrient Database (NEVO)

I would like to see an integration of the Dutch Nutrient Database (NEVO). Or a way to integrate a database and export, modify and re-import your customized foods.
