Could you build this?
Partial Barcode scanning and a UI are easy, but the value depends on a curated 30,000-ingredient database and an independent scoring algorithm that vibe coding cannot produce from scratch.
What it would actually take: Build a mobile app with barcode lookup against a product database such as Open Food Facts, plus a scoring engine. The hard part is the ingredient knowledge base: collecting and normalizing data from FDA, EFSA, WHO, and SCCS sources, and designing a defensible scoring model. That needs food-science and toxicology review, and ongoing curation to keep the scores credible.
