Scan a product barcode and see which GS1 organisation is associated with its prefix. “Where is this product from?” helps you understand information found in common codes on product packaging.
Point your camera at an EAN or UPC barcode. Once it is recognised, view the result and start another scan. Use your phone’s flashlight when you need more light.
What does the result mean?
A GS1 prefix identifies the GS1 organisation that allocated the company prefix. It does not confirm where a product was made or where it comes from. A company may manufacture products in several countries while using a single prefix. Check the packaging for information about the place of manufacture too.
The app supports EAN-8, EAN-13, UPC-A and UPC-E barcodes. Some prefixes have special uses, such as publications or coupons, and do not identify a country.
Camera access is required for scanning. Preparing the scanner on first use may require an internet connection and Google Play services. The app displays ads; available privacy options can be found in its menu.
