Food Management Made Easy


Awareness is Key

According to a recent report by the World Resources Institute and the UNEP, approximately one-third of all food produced worldwide is either lost or wasted. In the US alone, about 20 pounds of fresh food per person is tossed out every month, and most consumers do not realize the significant amount they contribute to the high percentages of food wasted on a daily basis. The OuiCan system allows consumers to easily keep track of the varying expiration dates of the food in their household and make economic shopping decisions using the OuiCan iOS app.
