Australia’s growing barcode database
Frittu pulls from Open Food Facts first — a global community food database. When a product isn’t listed there, Frittu users can contribute it directly from the app: enter the name and per-100g macros, and it’s instantly available to every other Frittu user who scans the same barcode.
Every successful scan also caches automatically to the Frittu community database, building a proprietary index of Australian supermarket products over time. The more people scan, the more complete it gets — and every scan makes the database smarter for the next person.
Common questions
What barcodes does Frittu scan?
Frittu supports EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, and UPC-E barcodes — the four formats used on virtually all packaged food sold in Australian supermarkets. The scanner uses ZXing C++ compiled directly into the app, so it works without any external scanning service or internet lookup for barcode detection.
Is the barcode scanner free?
Yes. Macros per serving, the per-100g toggle, serving size, the full ingredients list, and the allergen cross-check are all completely free for every Frittu user — no subscription required. AI ingredient insights (which flag additives red or amber with plain-English explanations and a processing level rating) are a Pro feature.
What if my product isn't in the database?
If a product isn't found in Open Food Facts or the Frittu community database, the app shows a "Not found" overlay with an "Add this product" option. Tap it, enter the product name and per-100g macros, and it's saved immediately — both for you and for any other Frittu user who scans the same barcode in the future.
How does the allergen cross-check work?
During onboarding, Frittu asks you to select any allergens that apply to you — things like gluten, dairy, tree nuts, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, and more. When you scan a barcode, Frittu maps the product's allergen tags from Open Food Facts against your personal list. If there's a conflict, a red warning banner appears at the top of the result screen. No allergens selected means no cross-check — the feature is opt-in based on what you enter in your profile.
