How can you find a missing UPC number?
I don't understand what you mean by "missing"? Did it fall off the package or did someone steal it? All joking aside, some product manufactures do not have a registered UPC code.

If it's important for you to know a UPC code number, you can always look on the package for the name and address of the manufacture or distributor. If you were to contact them. I'm sure they would be happy to give you the info about the UPC number (if they have one).
