New app for shopping in the supermarket provides information about nutritional values

An open database for food info lives from participating? Sounds exciting. And is it too. The database is called Open Food Facts and is easiest of using the smartphone (Android and IOS) by scanning the barcode of a product. But also a query about the website of the project is possible.

Open FOOD FACTS not only delivers the ingredients and may have contained food additives (E numbers) once again separately. The nutritional value quality (Nutri-score), the nutrient values, the degree of processing (Nova score) of the respective product and notes on contained alcohol or allergens are listed. For the latter, warnings can also be activated (more digital news at Food Facts).

Consumers also learn about the CO2 footprint of food and their packaging and possible recovery. In this context, a so-called eco score comes into play. Food properties such as organic, gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, halal or kosher are also not missing.

Who wants to compare different products and also create various lists - for example for shopping or staying food habits. These lists can be shared or exported as needed.
