FoodScore uses AI to judge the healthiness of food based on the negative effects of additives in raw materials on a five-level scale from A to E. Foods are displayed on the "Food List" where you can search for healthy foods, and you can check deliciousness ratings and reviews (world's first: patent pending). In addition to displaying purchase links and stock status on e-commerce sites, you can also register foods you are interested in as favorites, which can be used for reference and comparison when purchasing food.
■Main functions

■What is “health level”?
Health level is determined by deep learning using AI based on the information below to calculate the risks associated with symptoms and additives contained in the names of food ingredients, and the ``health level'' is independently analyzed and evaluated by AI.
・Data from over 7,000 people cultivated through over 6 years of healthcare business
・Data related to additive intake and symptoms (approximately 1000 books and papers, etc.)
・Data on the effects of additives on the human body from WHO (JECFA), US (FDA), and EU

■Determine the health level of all products
When you take a photo of a product's barcode or ingredient name using the app, AI will judge the health level based on the negative effects of the additives listed in the ingredient name.
Furthermore, if you post your comments on how delicious it is and what you think about it, the product will be added to your food list.
