A cooking apparatus with a bar code scanner, which recognizes the position of a bar code and automatically adjusts a focus according to the recognized position of the bar code when the bar code is not located within the focal distance of the bar code scanner, and a method for controlling the same. The cooking apparatus includes a sensor for sensing a distance of the bar code from the bar code scanner, a controller for calculating a moving distance of the bar code scanner based on the distance of the bar code from the scanner so that the bar code scanner can recognize the bar code, and a focus adjustor controlled by the controller for moving the bar code scanner to the calculated moving distance.
