According to 2020 issue of Food Control, an online survey of 1042 U.S. adults evaluated consumers’ use and knowledge of food label dates, and consumers’ habits related to disposing of food that would likely still be safe for consumption. 

82% of people determine if the food product is edible based on 'Smelling 'and 'Looking.' And food label confusion leads to food waste


In short, people throw away food due to

1) Confusion of the expiry date Label

2) Being Suspicious about condition (especially fresh food)

3) Forgetting what's in the fridge

SOLUTIION
:VERYFFINE

To reduce food waste caused by confusing food conditions and forgetting the expiration date, the app "Veryfine" notifies users of approaching expiration dates with a tangible visual prediction model an suggests ways to use foods before they go bad.

Most food inventory control apps in the market focus on giving alerts about the current state with short textual descriptions rather than providing upcoming predictions with the visual standard for the purpose of prevention.
