How technology advanced according to human needs. Our smartphones can do multiple tasks efficiently. We use our smartphones for reading, communication, shopping, entertainment, and various tasks. Now, various apps are also advancing."Insect Food Scanner," a smartphone app developed to detect bugs in food, and a video related to the app have been posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

Everyone is concerned about the quality and safety of food that we are consuming while doing grocery shopping. We have also seen several news articles about the poor quality and hygiene of foods. The Insect Food Scanner app gives a way to the trouble. This app provides users with the option to select quality and safe foods for their homes. The user needs to scan the barcode present on the food article, and after that, the app gives the results within seconds on whether there are insects in the food or not. The user can use the scanner on any food product, whether offline or online, and the app is user-friendly. The related video is on the X platform handle SGAnon @TheQNewsPtriot and shows how the app works and gives the user experience. The video received a good response, followed by comments like “Thanks, SGAnon. As always, I appreciate you, and I just got this—no bugs yet—and am anxious to take it to the store tomorrow. I am going to get this app, and I must have this app and we need this in English.”

The "Insect Food Scanner" app clarifies the common concerns among consumers by identifying the insects present in food products and offering healthy food choices. But there is also a bit of a misconception about how accurately the app can detect the insects and give good results. If it works efficiently, there is no concern, but if it doesn't give the outcome, there is the creation of the wrong opinion among the public.
