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. A successful food product identification brings you the following options and details: (1) General information - Name of product, product manufacturer, product ingredients and product image. (2) Additives details – Provides the names of additives, quantity of additives and, for logged in users, the definition of additives. (3) Highlighted allergen list.

The calculator also provides information about the amount of time you should walk, run or pedal to burn calories consumed. (5) Warnings emitted by the European Union as well as other countries for that product type. (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). (7) Save product in a lightbox, called “Saved products”, this is where you can analyze your products further (for logged in users). (8) Product Recycle options. (9) Complaint form – This can be used to file a complaint in certain conditions (for logged in users).
