What is FoodScanner?

The FoodScanner is a new feature in our FoodMarble app designed to streamline meal logging and enhance your dietary management. With FoodScanner, you can scan barcodes on food packaging and receive detailed info cards that include FODMAP content, the percentage of RDA consumed, and your personal reaction. It simplifies and speeds up dietary tracking, helping you stay within your RDA (recommended daily allowance) of FODMAPs. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals managing digestive health issues such as IBS, SIBO and Food Intolerance, offering a quick and accurate way to track the foods you eat.

Recently, our foods database expanded with over 13,000 new food items aggregated from various supermarkets in key user regions, including the UK, Ireland, the US, and Canada. These additions include essential macronutrient information like dietary fiber and serving size.

How Do I Use FoodScanner to Make My FoodMarble Experience Easier?

There are two key ways to leverage the FoodScanner:

• Tap the barcode icon on the top right corner.
• Turn on your camera and scan the barcode on your food package.
• And that’s it! Your food’s information card will appear and you can select your serving size and log the food.
