Barcode not found – add a product manually

Sometimes a barcode isn't in any source. Moveno then shows a not found screen with three choices, and lets you enter the product yourself — from then on, Moveno recognizes that barcode instantly.

How it works

1. When a barcode isn't recognized, choose one of the three options: Search by name, Add manually, or Try again.
2. If you choose Add manually, the nutrition editor opens.
3. Optionally add a product photo (take one or pick from your library) — it uploads in the background while you type.
4. Enter the Product name (required) and Brand (optional).
5. Choose the reference unit that matches the label: Per 100 g (default), Per 100 ml (drinks), or Per serving.
6. Enter the nutrition values as printed on the label: calories, protein, carbs, fat, and optionally fiber, saturated fat, sugars, and salt.
7. Enter the consumption amount — how much you actually ate or drank (the g/ml unit follows the reference unit).
8. Log the meal.

Good to know

• The scanned barcode is carried into the form, so the product is recognized instantly on future scans.
• The product name is required; the brand is optional but helps tell similar products apart.
• The reference unit must match the label (Per 100 g / Per 100 ml / Per serving), or the values will be off.
• After you log it, Moveno automatically creates a personal entry (so re-scanning finds it) and adds the product to a review queue for possible inclusion in the shared database.
• Add manually is also reachable as a fallback from the no food detected photo screen and from Search by name.

Common questions

My product wasn't found. Use Add manually to enter it from the label; it'll be recognized next time you scan it.

Which reference unit do I pick? Match what the label prints (most use Per 100 g; drinks are often Per 100 ml).

My values came out wrong. Check the reference unit and that the consumption amount is in the right g/ml.

Where do I add a product photo? It's the first optional field in the manual entry form.
