I'm proud to have just installed this app. Fuck Putin! Slava Ukraini!

I would be very interested in an app like this in general that helped you purchase ethically in general, I have to many other things to remember besides all of Nestle's subsidiaries.

Did some searching, it looks like there was something called "Buycott" but the app seems abandoned and no longer works on newer versions of Android.

Available on Google Play and the App Store. No data shared with third parties and no data collected, according to Google Play.

Dld and scanned Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil. App got it wrong. Said Betrayal. Claims company is Extra. Got that from the product description no doubt. Claims made in usa. But the bottle said imported.

Cool idea but needs work.

Yeah I did the exact same thing! "EXTRA" is a registered brand of "Chipita" Is that what i showed you?

My Olive Oil is Mastro, which is owned by Sofina which I think is a Canadian company. I'm curious to know if it's just matching the first result for "EXTRA".

I also scanned a store brand (President's Choice) bottle of ketchup and it just came up PRESIDENT and said it was owned by a company in France which I'm sure isn't true. It's owned by the store chain which is owned by the Weston family, and they wouldn't dare lie about where they're getting their ketchup from... that would re-ignite a new ketchup war (it's a whole thing).

Yes in my case it did say Chipita.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Tried correcting thru app but since the company was misidentified the correction won't help.

After scanning about five products in my house, my phone got hot.

"I'm doing my part" - installed

EDIT: Nestle is on the list. Why am I not surprised.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Awesome will check it out

Very curious to test this. And to stop buying from shitty companies as well.
