Could you build this?

Partial Creating a barcode scanning mobile app is straightforward, but building and maintaining a comprehensive database of grocery product barcodes, ingredients, and additive toxicity rankings requires proprietary data.

What it would actually take: The app needs a React Native or Flutter frontend equipped with mobile barcode scanning libraries (ML Kit) communicating with a cloud API. The primary barrier is licensing or compiling a massive, localized FMCG barcode database (like Open Food Facts or commercial UPC databases) and synthesizing complex food additive toxicology ratings. This necessitates data partnerships, food science domain mapping, and continuous crowd-sourced or scraped catalog maintenance.
