Open Food Facts — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is Open Food Facts free to use?

Open Food Facts is listed in our free catalogue and required no credential when we called it. It needs no authentication at all, so you can send a request without signing up. Free tiers can still carry rate limits or non-commercial terms, so check the provider's own terms before shipping.

Does Open Food Facts need an API key?

Can I call Open Food Facts from browser JavaScript?

Yes. Open Food Facts returned CORS headers when we checked it, so a browser will let your page read the response. You can fetch it directly from client-side JavaScript with no proxy and no backend.

Is Open Food Facts still working?

Yes, as of 2026-09-18. Our automated check reached Open Food Facts and recorded a 100% reliability score with a median response time of 508 ms. We re-check on a schedule, and this page updates with the result.

Is Open Food Facts available over HTTPS?
