Inspired by Hippocrates' quote: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” and by the more current quote: "We are what we eat", we made the Product Crawler. This open source project aims on creating a database that stores important information about everyday products (it initially concerned only food, edible products). Product information such as the ingredients, the nutritional value, preservatives, family companies etc.

Our goal is to integrate the database into a website that can be used by anybody to check the QUALITY of the products in the market. It is our RIGHT as consumers to have easy access to the knowledge of what we eat, what we drink, what we put on our face and hair... Public awareness of consumer rights must be raised. But to achieve this on a scale that is big enough for the database to be considered useful and practical, we count on the contributions to this open source project.
