I've never seen labeling like this before. Interesting.

ingredient lables can be pretty long. I think we need a QR code with this and much more information. it should be able to back track where you product came from and such.

Either that or it creates an incentive to use fewer, simpler ingredients.

Can QRs fit enough text to hold all the ingredients and their descriptions?
I'd hate it if they were just links to some crappy government website that'll inevitably go down couple of years down the line

Maximum 4296 alphanumeric characters, but that's with the largest-sized code and low/no error correction (so not always practical).

And with only the English alphabet, just like in the good old days of ASCII.

this is one of those things where distributed ledger would be useful as it should at least track chain of custody then there should be enough room left over for the ingredients table.
