I am on mobile and I didn't realize the module is interactive. Maybe you could have an animation there or a video?

Information that it is free would be very useful but please describe in the same sentence how you make money. Otherwise, I will assume you sell my data.

Very interesting product and I am looking forward to using it once you add more local grocery chains.

That's helpful advice! I'll add that info to the site and, to let you know, here's how we make money. (1) We currently charge for "diets". So, if you want to unlock Paleo, it's $2.99 per month. For free everyone gets food scores + risky ingredients flagged + info on why an ingredient was flagged. (2) We have an affiliate relationship with several of the retailers we support so, if you use the extension while shopping, they pay us a referral fee. Where do you grocery shop? Will see if it's a retailer on our roadmap.
