Congrats, and it seems to work well. It gives similar ratings to the ratings my grocery store has on the product.
What's the rationale behind the ratings it gives to different categories? Some are obvious, like "Sugar is bad", but other things are less clear, like Graham Flour is rated as a "good" ingredient - why is that? I know citation of sources is hard with AI but it's pretty useful here.
Also, I know this is a hard thing to solve (AI or not...) since opinion on an ingredient being good or bad shifts like the wind and with how much money is pushing it. I remember when coffee was good, then it caused cancer, then heart attacks, but now I think it is good again, or at least it only causes cancer to Californians, or something?

California does maintain a list of prop 65 chemicals so you can compare against that list.

One thing I found was if you give a image of a nutrition label to ChatGPT, it could extract all the nutrition information into a text format like JSON. I was thinking of using that to automate my daily nutrition tracking I do for health reasons.
I do it already in https://foodintake.space app
We do it in a more sophisticated way.
Congrats! The product looks very promising and I know people who would use this all the time. One feedback I have is to pre-load a demo label so that we can see it inaction without having to find a label.
Thank you very much! Actually before i launch it i had it with 2 demos, but i thought people could abuse it and dry out my credits. I will built a cache system and re-implement it.
thiss owuld be an excellent candidate for combining with the Monash university's FODMAP app

trying to find foods that dont trigger IBS etc is such hard work..

How is it different from OpenFoodFacts?
Or the USDA food database that American taxpayers have so graciously given us?

Hello, Pierre co-founder of the Open Food Facts NGO. We have a multi-year AI effort you can help with. https://wiki.openfoodfacts.org/Artificial_Intelligence
We have weekly community meetings, compute to get things rolling, and a swell/quick from Test to Production and Impact loop :-)
I think the only differentiation is that it happens to be this particular person's attempt to cash in on the AI slop era as opposed to someone else's.
