Why keep a pantry inventory?
Most food waste at home happens because products are forgotten at the back of a cupboard or freezer. When you know exactly what you have and when it expires, you buy less, plan meals around what is already there and throw away less. A digital inventory also lets everyone in the household check the stock from their own phone, even while standing in the supermarket. Read our guide on how to reduce food waste with a pantry inventory, or compare a spreadsheet versus an app.
What Is In My Pantry is developed by Industrial IT, a Dutch software company that also builds barcode and warehouse software for businesses.
Frequently asked questions
Is What Is In My Pantry free?
Yes. Every feature is free for the first month. After that the Basic plan stays free (with ads), and Advanced costs €10.00 per month or €110.00 per year excluding VAT in the Netherlands.
Do I need a barcode scanner?
No. You can scan barcodes with the camera of your phone or tablet, or search products by name. A Bluetooth or USB scanner is faster if you scan a lot. Compare the options.
Is there an app for iPhone?
There is an Android app in Google Play. On iPhone, iPad and PC you use the web app in your browser at whatisinmypantry.com/app, which has the same features.
Where does the product information come from?
Product names, brands and photos come from Open Food Facts, a free and open food product database. You can always edit the details yourself.
