I said the same thing for a PM interview at a big tech company and that was the main topic of discussion for that interview slot. I did have image recognition with learning for expired food detection in addition and a big line up of other possible features. Definitely something like this will come up within the next 5 years! Many interesting and open ended questions can arise. How about products without a bar code (apples from the street vendor)? How will the scanning take place without the user having to do it?

How about products without a bar code (apples from the street vendor)? I keep my apples in a bowl on the counter, so that wouldn't be an issue for me! To make sure we got a more accurate inventory of everything in the fridge, I would imagine a combination of barcodes, rfid tags, internal camera with image recognition (and maybe crowdsourced image tagging), and maybe cross-referencing with Mint data (if I put a CPK bag in the fridge on the same day I have a credit card charge from CPK as recorded by Mint, there's a good chance there's BBQ chicken pizza in it). Of course since I'm not actually going to build this product, the sky's the limit on technology and programming.
