Our new ingredient avoid lists are now ready for use.
Users may add any ingredients to their own personal avoid list (must have an account and be logged in to use this feature). Ingredients can be added to your avoid list directly from ingredient and product pages.
In addition, when you view products, you’ll get a warning, “Contains ingredients from your avoid list.” if an ingredient is matched from your avoid list.
View the screen shots below for more detail on how ingredient avoid lists work.

It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted any updates. There have been several minor changes to the site since 2.0 has gone live.
Here is a summary of the most recent major changes.
- Moderation System – Want to be a moderator? Contact us and let us know why you feel you would like to become a UPC Food Search moderator.
- Facebook Connect – You now have the option to login with your facebook account.
- Separated Brand Information from Manufacturer Names – We felt this needed to be separate from the manufacturer’s name, since many manufacturers have brands across several different UPC codes.
- Multiple Manufacturer/Brand Websites – You can now list several websites for a manufacturer and it’s brands.
We have several other features being developed. We will announce them as they are completed.
