The problem EatWise solves

Inconsistent Labeling Standards: Different brands use varying formats for nutritional information, which complicates comparisons. EatWise standardizes data presentation to make it easier for users to compare products and understand their nutritional content.

Hidden Ingredients: Unhealthy ingredients like artificial additives and excessive sugars are often not obvious. EatWise highlights these hidden elements, alerting users to potentially harmful components that aren’t immediately visible.

Overwhelming Product Choices: With countless food options, it’s hard for consumers to consistently choose the healthiest ones. EatWise provides curated recommendations and insights, reducing decision fatigue and guiding users toward better choices.

Dietary Restrictions and Allergies: Individuals with specific dietary needs or allergies struggle to find suitable products. EatWise offers customized recommendations that consider personal health restrictions, making it easier to find safe and appropriate food options.

Real-Time Nutritional Tracking: Many people forget to track their nutritional intake throughout the day. EatWise allows users to scan and log food items in real-time, providing instant feedback on their daily nutrition and helping them stay on track with their dietary goals.

Lack of Education on Nutritional Science: Many consumers are not well-versed in nutritional science. EatWise educates users on key aspects of nutrition, helping them understand the impact of their food choices on their health and well-being.
