How do I scan a food barcode?

The barcode scanner searches Turtle's food database. Check the pack against the result, especially the serving size, before logging it.

What to do

  1. 1

    Open Food and tap Add food for a meal.

  2. 2

    Choose the barcode scanner and allow camera access if asked.

  3. 3

    Scan the code, compare calories and serving size with the pack, then confirm.

  4. 4

    If the product is wrong, use the correction option instead of logging bad data.
