I would like this kind of data tied to my phone's bar-code scanner. Better would be options for me to select against arbitrary pieces of supply chains that I pick (or picked by lists I subscribe to) and just see an aggregate "my choice" score and important alerts when I scan something (rather than having to re-parse the implications of these maps in each isle). It would also be nice if I could share my pro/against list with the few grocery stores I frequent so they could mark my receipts with relevant changes in the supply chains for the products I buy (so I can cut out the redundant scanning on most purchases). I wouldn't even mind if the store got to use the info so they could see how many of their customers will/won't like the various options they are considering stocking.

Hey! I'm working on an app that does that. Bar codes are a bit tough to deal with (no 'central' database), as are subsidiary relationships, but we've come up with a way to handle it. We then generate a score based on the manufacturer and what you've subscribed to, which tells you how well the product aligns with your values. We're just finishing it up now, and it should be released in the next month or so (Android first, then iOS). We have a working mvp at the moment, and we're quite happy with how it's been going. I could post it on HN when we release, as I'll be looking for feedback :) Or, if you have an Android, contact me and I can send you our Alpha.
