Transparency about what goes into the products we buy and consume is needed

One common challenge I face when grocery shopping is deciding what to buy among the many options available for the same product.

I often struggle to understand the technical jargon on ingredient labels and misleading marketing terms like “100% natural”, “flavored”, “yogurt drink” and many others that can obscure the true nature of the product.

To address this, I started developing a small app for myself to help me better understand what goes into these products and hopefully help me make healthier choices.

The app, paevita, scans the product and its label, generating a report on all the ingredients. We can then access more information about each ingredient, including nutritional value, allergens, and more.
