Just an observation. The barcode feature in MFP has made me realize that I should not be eating so much food that has a barcode. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Iโ€™ve never used the scanner, but Iโ€™ve seen loose produce with bar codes stuck on them. Iโ€™m not sure getting rid of all labeled food is necessary.

    Kind of what I was thinking - almost everything in a grocery store has a barcode. Spices, pasta, rice, bags of beans, etc. Even the bags of grapes have a barcode on the bottom to make is easier for the cashier to weigh the proper item.

    I've seen individual things like apples with little bar code stickers.

    Other than produce from farmers markets or things grown in your own garden, almost everything can have a bar code.
