EWG to launch food database and app
April 04, 2014 | 02:09 PM
The Environmental Working Group is going to launch a food data base and mobile app “that aims to change the way American eat and shop for foods,” EWG President Ken Cook has announced.
Cook said the food database project was inspired by EWG’s Skin Deep database and app, which is already operating.
A team of EWG researchers is building the database with information gathered by FoodEssentials, a company that compiles details about ingredients in foods sold in American supermarkets.
Cook made the announcement at a TEDx conference in New York City last month. His remarks have been posted on You Tube.
