By the Ubod team · · 2 min read
In Ubod, tap the + on a meal and type the name or the brand in the Search tab. The All, Generic and Branded filters sort the results, and the button to the right of the field sets the country and language of the products. A product you can't find can be added with the AI Scan or found with the chat.

Tap the + on a meal in the Meal tab. The Search tab is selected by default. Your recent foods show up before you even type.
