In Norway several grocery stores have in the last half year started using the 2D barcodes. And I suddenly experienced yesterday that I couldn’t scan and add a micowave meal I bought since it doesn’t have a EAN barcode at all on the box.

Here is a translated article about it: https://e24-no.translate.goog/naeringsliv/i/8J7VmE/etter-50-aar-skal-strekkoden-byttes-ut-en-gamechanger-for-matsvinn?_x_tr_sl=no&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=no&_x_tr_pto=wapp

I hope the app will get the possibility to scan these 2D codes or a lot of meat and other products in Norway won’t be possible to add to OFF in the future 🫣
