    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Looks up a packaged food or drink in Open Food Facts (3M+ products) by barcode or by name and returns a 0-100 health score (Excellent / Good / Poor / Bad) with the reasons: nutrition (Nutri-Score), additives and their risk level, and how processed it is. For questions such as whether a product is healthy. A barcode gives the most precise match.
