HERTS, U.K. — According to a news release, Retec Interface is working on a project that will actively help consumers make healthy choices. Called the Healthy Eating Kiosk, it will give touchscreen information at a glance with a total breakdown of food contents.
Consumers using the kiosk will be able to scan the bar code of a product and gain instant access to key contents information. Ingredients will be listed, including whether the item contains allergens such as nuts, as well as details of the percentage of salt, fiber, sugar and fat it contains. Other information includes value of calories or energy, amount of carbohydrates and protein, plus guidelines for recommended daily consumption for men and women.
