I've only used it a couple of times and from the top of my head I'm sure I remember seeing it when on the right of the search box when you look for a certain food to add....although this is for Android, not sure if other platforms are different. hope this helps xx0

next to the search bar0

yeah it's next to the search bar. It looks like a tiny barcode. That may sound arrogant but it is quite difficult to see when you don't know what you are looking for. I only used it once, couldn't get it to work. I just search names now. Good luck. x0

Click My Diary
Add
Choose Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner etc
Click the blue icon with white squiggly lines to the right of "Search for a food" and above the "Sort" button.
Then just hovver over your barcode and it will take a snapshot - you don't need to click anything0 -
