Know Your Food
Kavisha Bhansali
Know your food is a one-stop mobile application that allows the user to scan the barcode present on every food packet, giving them in-depth information about the labels, the truth about the claims, Accuracy of the nutritional values and the rightfulness of the “fat free” and “Sugar free” labels.
It also provides features such as Ingredient alters, expiry date reminders, product saving, allergen Alerts and product recommendations.
Food labels are often deceiving – misleading values, claims or advertising. There is no medium for a layman to fact check these labels in order to make more informed decisions.
Health conscious young adults are left confused by food labels that are difficult to interpret leading to medical repercussions and unhealthy dietary practises.
