The Origin Story
BarcodeSense was born from a simple, everyday problem: my dad is vegetarian, and I kept noticing how often packaged foods quietly include ingredients that don't actually fit vegetarian diets. Hidden animal-derived ingredients, confusing labels, and unclear nutritional information made grocery shopping unnecessarily complicated.
I wanted a simple way to scan products and immediately know what's inside—not just for vegetarians, but for anyone trying to make informed choices about what they eat.
From there, the concept expanded beyond just checking ingredients. I realized people need help understanding what they're eating and making better choices with a simple scan. BarcodeSense evolved into a comprehensive tool that:
The result is a clean, focused experience that helps you discover what's in your food with a single scan—powered by AI, built from a personal problem, and designed to make better eating feel effortless.
