Veš kaj ješ

Veš kaj ješ is an invaluable asset for anyone seeking to understand better the nutritional content of their food, whether at home or in a shopping environment. This application simplifies the process of food selection by allowing users to scan barcodes with their smartphones, which then provides detailed information on the product's nutritional values. Aimed at aiding individuals who strive for a varied and balanced diet, it showcases nutrients such as sugars, salt, and fats, displayed in an easily comprehendible traffic-light system. Green indicates lower values, while red signifies high quantities—warning users to moderate their intake of certain items.

Users will find data presented per 100g of solid foods or 100ml of beverages, making interpretation and comparison of nutritional content straightforward. The traffic light system, adopted from the British Food Standards Agency's research-backed method, serves to demystify nutritional labeling, assisting consumers in making healthier choices. This approach has garnered the appreciation of food nutritionists, particularly when evaluating processed goods like pre-prepared meals and snacks.

While boasting an extensive food database, Veš kaj ješ also recognizes the dynamic nature of food product availability and formulation. It encourages user participation in enhancing the accuracy and breadth of its database. In instances where an item is not present or discrepancies in data are noted, users can submit photos through a feature in the application, fostering community collaboration in keeping the database current.

Furthermore, for products not yet included in the database, there is functionality for manual entry of nutritional information, ensuring users can always stay informed of what they consume. It is designed to empower users with information and choices to support a healthier and well-informed lifestyle.
