I built an AI-powered packaged food ingredients list vegetarian scanner

Hacker News

Hey HN. I have been a vegetarian for the past ten years. At the grocery store, I often find myself manually scanning the ingredient lists on packaged foods, relying on my own knowledge and eyesight to identify non-vegetarian or unfamiliar ingredients that might affect my diet. That's why I built Veri.fy, a go-to vegetarian food scanner powered by Google Vision API and Gemini AI. It helps scan ingredient lists on packaged foods and classifies each ingredient as vegetarian or not. Have a quick look and let me know your thoughts. Reynard
