Verified nutritional reference
Standard reference entries for calories, macros, and key micronutrients reconciled against verified nutritional food datasets.
VERIFIED DATA
THE LAB
Vision models, an OCR engine tuned for nutrition panels, and a verified data backbone — engineered to show you confidence instead of hiding it.
LABEL OCR · THE DIFFERENTIATOR
Nutrition panels are rigidly structured — perfect for OCR. Our engine detects the panel, corrects perspective, reads every line, then parses values into 14 nutrient fields with per-field confidence. You always see the parse next to the photo before anything is saved.
PROVENANCE
Standard reference entries for calories, macros, and key micronutrients reconciled against verified nutritional food datasets.
VERIFIED DATA
Packaged products via Open Food Facts. We look up the barcode code number to return the manufacturer nutritional panel.
OPEN FOOD FACTS
Confirmed meal entries are stored securely in your isolated account database. You have full ownership to edit, export, or delete your records anytime.

Every number wears one of these
HONEST NUMBERS
Photo-based estimation has real limits — plating, sauces, and hidden fats all add error. Most apps hide this. We benchmark on open plate datasets, publish the ranges, and surface low-confidence results as ranges in the UI.

MANIFESTO
Every calorie carries a source. Every estimate carries a confidence. Every photo is disposable. We built NutriLens because the category leader ships ads, the AI newcomers hide their error bars, and nobody reads the label. We read the label.
NutriLens is a general-wellness tool. It is not medical nutrition therapy and cannot detect allergens. Consult a registered dietitian or physician for clinical conditions, and always check packaging for allergens.
