🍜 NutriScan: Know What’s In Your Food Ever wonder what's really in your snacks, like Maggi or drinks like Coca-Cola? I built NutriScan to tell you. It's a backend system that scans food labels, identifies ingredients, and provides clear health insights: safe, caution, or harmful. ✅ How It Works NutriScan takes an image of a food label, uses OCR to read ingredients, and gives you health insights. Examples: Maggi: ✅ Wheat Flour (Safe), ❌ INS 621 (MSG – headaches for some), ⚠️ Guar Gum (INS 412 – safe in small amounts, not for all). Coca-Cola: ❌ Phosphoric Acid (can weaken bones), ⚠️ Caffeine (anxiety/sleep issues in excess), ✅ Carbonated Water, Sugar (okay in moderation). 🛠 Tech Stack Built with: NestJS + PostgreSQL: Core backend & analysis. Tesseract OCR: Reads text from labels. Redis + BullMQ: Handles image processing. Cloudinary: Secure image uploads. The backend is fully functional and ready for expansion. 💡 Contribute to NutriScan This is an open-source project!
