Introducing browser extension Capzicum, a food scanner informed by premium brands' clean list

I'd love y'all's feedback on Capzicum, a food scanning browser extension. There are apps like Yuka, Boby Approved and Olive in the mobile ecosystem to scan physical food packages to understand food quality.

But nothing reliable exists for those interested in checking ingredients while browsing on the desktop. Capzicum hopes to solve this.

Capzicum - food scanner in your lap - Leverage premium grocery brands' ingredients curation

Capzicum helps you shop smarter by instantly flagging ingredients that premium grocery retailers ban from their "Clean" labels. Key Features: Instant Scanning: Highlight ingredients on any website or paste text to check instantly. Retailer Comparison: Checks against "Avoid Lists" from Whole Foods, H-E-B Select, Kroger Simple Truth, Safeway Open Nature, and Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).
