Food is complicated. There are so many different ingredients in foods that it takes time to decipher what will meet your individual needs. CarrotLines is a free mobile app that simplifies the decision making process and helps you make the right healthy food choices faster!

You set your nutritional profile (e.g. Organic, Vegan, low fat, high fibre, amount of sugar, allergies, etc.) and use the camera on your mobile device to scan the bar code on a product in store. The app will let you know automatically if that food is right for you! Pretty cool, huh? Now you don't have to spend the time squinting at the label and spend that time eating the food you love instead! It is a pretty innovative app that health conscience people will find very useful.

I found out about this app when I was at the Vancouver Health Show last month and I also entered a contest there and guess what? I won the grand prize which includes a Sunrise Tofu prize pack and a $100 Visa giftcard! Thank you CarrotLines and Sunrise Tofu!


When picking up my prize, I met the developers behind the CarrotLines app. They are three amazing people that made all of this into what it is! CarrotLines is currently nominated for "Best Concept" in Small Business BC's Successful You Awards. You can vote for them here. Voting closes at the end of the month so make sure you make your vote count and support some home-grown talent!
