What is a food scanner?
A food scanner is an app that reads the barcode on groceries and pulls up information about what's inside: nutrition, ingredients, additives and how processed the product is. Instead of squinting at a tiny ingredient list in the store, you get a clear overview in seconds.
Skaren is built specifically for the Norwegian market, with data from Norwegian groceries. That means the products you actually find in Rema, Kiwi, Meny and Coop are covered.
