Data Sources & Licenses

Last updated: June 9, 2026

SYNC’D stands on the shoulders of open data. Here’s where product information comes from, and the licenses it’s used under.

Open Food Facts

Product identification, ingredient lists, nutrition data, and many product photos come from Open Food Facts, the open, collaborative food products database.

• Database contents are licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL).
• Product photos are © Open Food Facts contributors, licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0.
• Some product data and photos are cached on our servers to make repeat scans fast; the source and licenses above continue to apply to that cached data.

openFDA

Recall information comes from openFDA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s public API. openFDA does not endorse SYNC’D, and its data is provided as-is.

Scientific databases

• PubChem (NIH) — chemical and compound data.
• NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database — supplement label data.
• Published endocrine-screening research, including the EPA’s CompTox program, informs the ingredient watchlist behind wellness notes.

AI analysis

Ingredient explanations, label checks, and summaries are generated with Google’s Gemini models, grounded in the sources above. AI output can contain mistakes — always check the physical label.

Trademarks
