The InfoCons App helps you become an educated consumer by bringing tons of vital information regarding your food choices, electrical appliances and other non-food products, as well as emergency numbers from all around the world. The InfoCons app is a tool dedicated to consumer protection. Regardless of location or spoken language, one can query the InfoCons database by scanning the barcode from any food product, the QR code from any electrical appliance (fridges, freezers, storage units, washing machines, dishwashers, washer-dryers, televisions, monitors and other displays, air conditioners, cooker hoods and many others; sold in the EU after 2019) or by using the search field directly.

(6) Markers based on your preferences - The app highlights values that are not in accordance with your choices, which you are able to set through the “My Choice” section (for logged in users).

Easy to use. 10/10 ### 5/5 — Very useful *2024-04-08, version 2.0.60* I find it so useful, especially the scanning of the barcode of any food product. Very detailed informations about it, including its additive numerical, quantity, etc. ### 5/5 — Very useful app *2024-03-28, version 2.0.60* Best app ! ### 4/5 — Very useful app *2024-03-28, version 2.0.60* It’s great to have access to all info in the same place! It would be even better to find every product registered in it. Hops this will happen soon. Big like for the app! ### 5/5 — Very useful *2024-03-17, version 2.0.57* I have used the application for a few years now and I must say it is very useful. Beside the notices regarding the doubtful or non-conforming products on the market, it offers the contact with the authorities which can solve a problem for anyone, as a customer. Easy to use, safe to have it, I strongly recommend it! ## Frequently asked questions about InfoCons ### What can I scan with InfoCons?
