Creator: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1jp5y0p/i_made_an_app_to_scan_barcode_and_get_the_true/

I have created an app that allows to scan barcode and get the origin of the brands (with information about parent holding company if any). It also suggest EU alternatives for the product scanned.

There is already more than 1.1m product in the databases and 140k brands (out of ~150k) analyzed. The analysis is made by automatic crawlers, so there might get issue regarding that, do not hesitate to report it. Data are coming from the great OpenFoodFacts database.

Play Store (Android): Productr

Currently there is no iOS one, I might create one if people are interested in the app (as App Store pricing is high, I prefer to check if people like the app before paying the fee). EDIT: As a few people is requesting it and are interested, I will proceed to App Store submission for iOS version and pay the required fee. I will keep people informed about that. It should take a few days, the time I get a mac, release app and going through the validation process of Apple (it takes 48hr according to internet, so let’s see if it’s that fast).

I will publish a web version soon that will allow to use the app without installing it (either android or iOS).

Enjoy ! 🇪🇺

EDIT: Some more information. Cosmetic products are also available on it, but database is quite limited currently and brand crawling has just started. I plan to expand database in upcoming days.

Pet food products should be added soon too

      And what about those European countries which aren’t in EU or EEA…?

      Maybe you need a geographic location identifier underneath with some colour coding? Green for Europe, Red for USA, Orange for everywhere else.

      Thank you, and welcome to Lemmy! Feel free if you have any question.

      You can make a dedicated post to announce the new release of the app, and the fact that the EEA is now green. It would get much more visibility than our comments here

        Thank you! I am in the process to add application to iOS, I might make a new post after it has been validated and I got few feedbacks from it
