Product data comes from the retailers themselves wherever we can get it — for chain groceries that's the store's own product feed, which is also where the prices come from. Beyond that we draw on public food databases and commercial barcode catalogs to fill in names, sizes, ingredients and nutrition, and we cross-check nutrition against USDA FoodData Central. Where a manufacturer publishes the details, that's what you see. Where nobody does, we'd rather leave a gap than invent one.

Very good for national brands and major chains, patchier for regional and store-brand items where the manufacturer never published much to begin with. Sizes and nutrition on smaller brands are the usual gaps. If something looks wrong, tell us — Settings, then Give Feedback, or email support@glplusinc.com. We'd genuinely rather hear it than have you quietly stop trusting a number.

On the mobile app, yes — point your camera at a barcode and we'll identify the product, add it straight to your pantry, or drop you into a search if it's something we haven't catalogued yet. The apps arrive in fall 2026. On the web, search is the way in: type a few letters and matching products appear as you go.

Yes — on every plan, free included. This is the one thing we won't put behind a subscription. Recall notices come from the FDA and USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, and we match them against what's actually on your lists and in your kitchen — so you get told about the thing in your fridge, not a feed of everything recalled in America this week.

Not yet on individual products. The sources don't agree with each other, and a wrong "gluten-free" is worse than none at all — that's not a label we're willing to guess at. Where we do filter by diet and allergen today is recipes: keto, vegan, paleo, Mediterranean, nut-free, dairy-free, gluten-free and more, all filterable. Product-level certifications are something we want to get right rather than get fast.
