Cereal Shopping Made Easy
Shopping in the cereal isle just got a little bit easier. Fooducate.com has launched a new application for iPhone users called CerealScan. It’s a FREE app which gives you information on 2,000+ cereals.
It appears to be very easy to use. You hold your iphone up to the UPC Bar Code on the cereal box for a quick scan with your iphone camera. The application then ranks your cereal on a 5-point scale. It gives you immediate feedback on the good and the bad of calories, trans fats, sodium, sugars, preservatives, artificial colors, and more. In addition, CerealScan suggests a few healthy substitutions for your cereal purchase.
Unfortunately, I don’t have an iPhone, so I need to stick with the old-fashioned route and just read the labels. But this application sounds fun and is free; chances are you probably have a friend or two who could use the nutrition guidance.
Let me know if you are using any other fun nutrition apps with your iPhone.
