It also doesn't save any "red tape". It just creates an additional barrier to understanding whats in your food and means the seller can scrape your data.
Its a sh*tty solution to a non-problem that places the consumer increasingly at risk.

These guys are dangerous idiots. It's tiresome enough already having to read, and re-check, the labels on everything that I eat, and now they want to have me scan a QR code to get to that information.

This is how I grew up,
Thinking things were meant to be:
The large sheltering the small,
The powerful defending the weak,
The wealthy finding ways to help the poor.
When did generosity of spirit
Become designated as violent and evil?
