Improving our quality of life through what we eat

Qualia is a mobile app which allows users to scan food products barcode, and make a recommendation for their diet. With the growing complexity of dietary requirements, we aim to make it easier for people to know which foods are suitable for them.

The food information is based on the Open Food Facts website and its database. It should be noticed that Open Food Facts is a food products database made by everyone, for everyone. The accuracy and integrity are not guaranteed by the database and this app. Please let us know if you have a better database for the food products.
The project is built with React Native framework and its community libraries.
