Thirty years after the Nutrition Facts label transformed how Americans shop, a new survey from the International Food Information Council finds label-reading is more routine than ever.  Calories top the list at 45%, followed by total sugars at 44%, protein at 42%, and sodium at 41%. 
People are paying closer attention. The label just isn’t keeping up.
It tells you what’s in the product. It doesn’t tell you who owns the company behind it — whether that brand is a family operation, a private equity rollup, or a subsidiary of a MegaCorp with a documented history of violations. It doesn’t flag the ingredients you’re personally trying to avoid. And it definitely doesn’t tell you whether that product has ever been recalled.
Buy’r does all of it. Scan any barcode and instantly see the brand’s full ownership structure. Set your own ingredient filters — gluten, seed oils, artificial dyes, whatever matters to you — and Buy’r flags them automatically every time you scan. Real-time FDA recall alerts the moment a product is pulled. Company history and safety record, right in your pocket.
The Nutrition Facts label was designed in 1994. Buy’r was designed for right now.
