Application permettant aux musulmans de scanner et connaitre l’origine et la composition des produits alimentaires qu’ils consomment et fournis diverses autres fonctionnalités. Isla Food a pour objectif de venir en aide aux musulmans lorsqu’ils sont en train de faire des achats de produits à consommer.
