This article is only relevant for German readers. It’s about those Clean Labels on food products and that it might mean less transparency often. barcoo in Germany integrated some analysis from one consumer protection organisation.

The recent food contamination scandal in Germany, where an animal feed additive has been found to contain dioxin, was reason enough for us to move quickly and add another function to barcoo: Users can now enter the code printed on the eggs to check whether they are contaminated or not. To get the information we’re using a list of codes published by the consumer agency Hamburg.

This is another step in our mission to bring transparency to consumers to make it easier for them to shop healthy and sustainable products.
