Who for

What

  • Simple sugars are added to most products.
  • The names of simple sugars can sometimes be very strange, e.g. sucrose, glucose syrup, glucose, fructose, glucose-fructose syrup, dextrose, etc...
  • It would be good if there was a warning about the presence of simple sugars in the product.
  • The type of added simple sugars should be listed.

All sugar variants can be found in the ingredients taxonomy. The ingredient list is parsed using this taxonomy. There are OFF-clients that allow you to see these parse results and can be used as a warning trigger.
However this is all very recent and still work in progress.

Anyway this in general a question of providing the user with warnings based on the existence of some trigger. So it is a general functionality, which could be offered by any OFF-client.
