Product Nutrition Facts OCR API

Every product nutrition label contains dozens of essential data points that businesses across industries desperately need—calories, sodium levels, protein content, allergen warnings, ingredient lists, serving sizes, and nutritional percentages—yet most food manufacturers, retailers, and health platforms still rely on painfully manual processes that consume 15-30 minutes per product entry, create massive inventory bottlenecks, and leave dangerous room for human error in critical health information. From grocery chains struggling to populate online catalogs while customers demand instant nutritional transparency, to meal kit companies battling compliance delays during product launches, to healthcare apps missing opportunities to provide real-time dietary guidance, the cost of manual Product Nutrition Facts processing extends far beyond wasted time—it directly impacts time-to-market, regulatory compliance, and customer trust in an increasingly health-conscious marketplace.

Veryfi’s Product Nutrition Facts OCR API transforms this broken process by instantly extracting structured, actionable nutritional data from product labels, packaging photos, and food images with 99%+ accuracy, eliminating the need for manual transcription, nutritionist reviews, and the endless data verification cycles that delay product launches and frustrate health-conscious consumers. Whether you’re processing hundreds of SKUs daily or thousands of product variations, our advanced machine learning technology scales effortlessly to turn Product Nutrition Facts into instant business intelligence, helping forward-thinking organizations across every vertical—from e-commerce platforms enabling smart dietary filtering to fitness apps delivering personalized nutrition tracking—stop losing revenue to manual data entry delays and start gaining the competitive advantage that comes from real-time, automated nutrition processing.

The serving sizes on nutrition labels are often completely disconnected from how people actually eat the product. For example, a standard bag of chips might list the serving size as “about 15 chips” – but studies show most people eat 2-3 times that amount in one sitting. This means when you see “150 calories per serving,” you’re likely consuming 300-450 calories without realizing it.

Even more surprising: serving sizes aren’t based on recommended portions for health – they’re based on data from the 1970s and 1980s about what people typically consumed back then. So a “serving” of ice cream is half a cup, but the average person serves themselves about a cup and a half. This means millions of people are unknowingly consuming far more calories, sugar, and sodium than they think they are, simply because the math on the label doesn’t match reality. It’s like having a speedometer that only shows half your actual speed!
