Food tracking is an important part of many services, ranging from fitness/calorie tracking style apps to diabetes management.

However, keeping and maintaining an accurate food database is a big, costly, task that makes adopting new markets harder and obviously adds a substantial maintenance cost for each market.

Projects like this makes more markets accessible, especially small ones as cost per potential user is higher, and lay the foundation for cross-service-collaborations (i.e. log in your fitness app and the data shows up in your diabetes app as well).

Incidentally, I run a startup - Tummy Lab [1] - that tracks food intake and analyzes the data for co-relations between food and stomach issues.

If someone is looking for partnerships with regards to keeping food databases, feel free to contact us!

That is probably the cutest startup name I've come across.
