About ScanAvert:
Our first software was created in 2002 for Retailers to operate on their kiosks, but lacked mobility and privacy. Earlier handsets were able to deliver somewhat comprehensive and timely results, but not barcode reader reliability. Finally, technological advancements have yielded the platform we require for the application we envisioned so many years ago.
ScanAvert was invented to supply a simple user-friendly service where none existed, that empowered the consumer to make informed choices, the necessity of which, is even greater today due to increased prescription drug usage, increased incidence of food allergies and intolerance, alarming diet-based illness rates, rising numbers of Organic, Gluten-free, and Vegetarian/Vegan consumers, and concern over genetically modified foods. ScanAvert is an integral tool in your efforts to make responsible choices for you and your family.
