Hi there 

 

I was wondering if the barcode scanner work for uk food products? 

 

I've tried scanning many items and they are not recognisable even though they seem to work in my fitness pal. 

 

Kindest regards

Hello @Swass, have a warm welcome to the Fitbit Community, it's nice to see new faces around the Community. Smiley Happy

 

At this moment, the food barcode scanner works only with US based foods. I understand how important is for you and for many people to have this function expanded for UK and other countries's barcodes, which is why I went ahead and found a suggested idea by @DerrickS to implement this feature in a future update. Please feel free to add your vote and comment to this idea, this is truly the best way to make your voice heard. 

 

I hope this can be helpful and if there's anything else I can help you with, please feel free to reply! Smiley Wink

Just wondered if this has been implemented yet?

I am really keen to start using this feature but nothing seems to scan.
