Oh, and it flags and has a counter that goes up for every American product you scan, so basically the lower your score, the better. |
That's useful. My supermarket is pretty good at labeling Canadian products, not so much for the rest.
Where it says product of Chile on the marker, says product of USA on the packaging...
But also says product of USA on some things and then on the packaging it's from Mexico.
And have to be careful cause it can say packaged / processed in Quebec, CA, but contains produce from USA.
An app is a lot faster than reading the fine print on all the products!
However fresh produce remains a problem, got to trust what it says on the marker.
Buying local is good for the environment as well!
