5 Free Food & Nutrition Tools Built on Public APIs

We just launched 5 free food and nutrition tools that run entirely in your browser — no app download, no signup, no data sent to any server. They all use free public APIs to give you live, accurate data.

1. Nutrition Label Generator from Recipe

Generate FDA-style nutrition labels from any recipe instantly. Type your ingredients (e.g. "100g flour, 2 eggs, 50ml milk") and get a complete, downloadable Nutrition Facts panel — the kind you see on packaged food.

Every competitor we found either requires a paid subscription, limits you to 5 recipes/month, or forces a signup. This one is unlimited and free.

Powered by: USDA FoodData Central API (380,000+ foods)

2. Food Additive E-Number Checker

Look up any E-number or food additive and instantly see its risk level (Safe / Caution / Avoid), what foods it appears in, health concerns, and whether it's halal or vegan-friendly.

Type "E621" (MSG) or "tartrazine" and get a plain-English breakdown in seconds. No app, no account.

Database: 60+ E-numbers from E100 (Curcumin) to E967 (Xylitol)

3. Food Barcode Nutrition Scanner

Scan any food barcode with your phone camera or type the barcode manually. Get the product name, Nutri-Score (A–E), full nutrition per 100g, ingredient list, and allergen warnings instantly.

Works for 3+ million products worldwide via Open Food Facts.

Powered by: Open Food Facts API (no key, completely free)

4. Recipe Finder by Ingredient

Find recipes using what's already in your fridge. Enter up to 3 main ingredients (chicken, tomato, pasta) and browse matching recipes with full instructions, ingredient lists, and video guides.

Automatically filters out alcohol-containing recipes. Includes a random recipe button and favourites list saved locally.

Powered by: TheMealDB API (free, no key required)

5. Name Age, Gender & Origin Predictor

Predict the likely age, gender, and nationality of any first name using real statistical data from millions of records. Fun, instant, and surprisingly accurate.

See the top 3 countries where your name is most common, the decade most people with your name were born, and the gender probability — all with shareable results.

Powered by: Agify.io + Genderize.io + Nationalize.io (all free, no key)


All 5 tools are 100% private — your data never leaves your browser. Built at Teamz Lab Tools — 1,954+ free browser tools with no signup required.
