## What is FoodRepo Scan?

This app allows you to add products to The Open Food Repo, an open database of barcoded food products.

To do this, you simply scan the barcode and take clear photographs of all sides of the product so all the information is legible. This information will be transcribed and made publicly available. You can also log in on our website to help out with the transcription.

Download the app to contribute to making information about the food we eat publicly available!
