Could you build this?
Partial While scanning barcodes on mobile is trivial, providing verified toxic ingredient, allergen, and dietary analysis requires access to comprehensive, accurate global food product databases.
What it would actually take: Built with Flutter or React Native using mobile barcode scanning libraries (ML Kit) integrated with OpenFoodFacts or commercial UPC/EAN food databases. The difficult piece is food ingredient curation, allergen mappings across languages, and liability management around health/allergy claims. Requires data pipeline engineering and verified nutritional domain data.
