   That's helpful advice! I'll add that info to the site and, to let you know, here's how we make money. (1) We currently charge for "diets". So, if you want to unlock Paleo, it's $2.99 per month. For free everyon

   That's correct! We also have an affiliate model with some of the retailers we support so get a small kick back from the retailer if you use our Browser Extension while doing your online grocery shopping.

   Oh my gosh, such a good catch! No it's not a genuine screen shot because we're using a dummy product for legal reasons but you are 100% right that we need to update that image. Thanks for the feedback.

   Hi - Yes! Good shout out. Our Browser Extension is new (which is the product I liked to), but we launched our mobile app a few years back and Open Food Facts was an incredible resource at that time.

    That is a great question and we, for sure, need to add this to our website in an FAQ section or something. We have our own database for this and look at "risky ingredients" in two ways: (1) Ingredients that are banned or heavily r

    Thanks, Mike! I don't really have a good answer here. It was on our list of diets we considered, but we ended up prioritizing vegan given the plant based phenomena going on at the moment. It's still on the roadmap.

    That's a really good point and something we should be talking about as a tech community. For our extension, it's "active" if you're on a retailer page we support and not active when you're elsewhere on the web.

    Thanks! I did thought about linking to the main landing page. We have had a mobile app for a few years now so have received lots on feedback on that product and fine-tuned the messaging. The Browser Extension is brand new and is where we fe

    Thank you! Yes, totally agree that whole foods without labels are always when the best option when available and possible.

    Thank you for the feedback! Did you see the interactive module right below the hero blade that shows you how it works with screen shots? Trying to figure out if that was too hidden (in which case we need to pull it up) or if it wasn't
