## How to call it through Zero

```

Example prompt: Can you look up the full food facts for the product with barcode 3017620422003 — I want to see the Nutri-Score, NOVA group, allergens, and per-100g nutrition?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable food product data from a barcode or EAN/UPC number, including Nutri-Score and NOVA group classification which are not available from all food APIs. Ideal for nutrition logging apps, allergen checkers, and food quality analysis pipelines where per-100g data and processing level are needed.

## Known failure modes

- Barcode not found in database — product may not be in Open Food Facts
- Missing or incomplete product data flagged by completeness field
- Invalid or malformed barcode returns error
- Product data may be crowdsourced and occasionally inaccurate
- Rate limits or payment errors may block access

## How this service works

## Output

A JSON object containing product details: full ingredient list, allergens, traces, additive codes, Nutri-Score grade (A–E), NOVA group (1–4), per-100g macronutrients and micronutrients, and a boolean completeness flag indicating how complete the product data is.
