Health insurance company Bupa has partnered with The George Institute for
Global Health to create a new smartphone application which promises to
“empower Australian shoppers to make healthier food choices”. Dubbed
FoodSwitch, the software was developed in Australia and allows users to scan
the barcode of packaged foods using their iPhone camera and receive immediate

packaged food products found in Australian supermarkets and is expected to
significantly simplify things for shoppers grappling with confusing food labels.
