8 more Apps changing the Food Industry (2nd.Part)



GoPure In order to be more transparent about the food industry, GoPurehelps you search for restaurants that have sustainable food practices and help the community. Search by type of food, beverages, vegan or vegetarian, or waste. You can also add your own discoveries once you visit the restaurants.

True Food Genetically modified foods are not required to be labeled in the US, and up to 70% of our foods contain genetically modified ingredients. The Center for Food Safety compiled a True Food Shopper's Guide to show which foods aren't safe for your health or for the environment. The app has tips in identifying GMOs, lists of supermarkets and their GMO policies, and a shopper's guide.

ZipList Still writing that shopping list on a piece of paper? It inevitably gets lost in your purse, or you leave it on your desk, or forget half the items on it because you don't have a pen to make notes. Fear no more: there's ZipList, which allows you to access your grocery list from any device. You can make separate grocery lists and it organizes them by aisle in your grocery store, and you can share them with friends or family. It also has a search option to find and save recipes on the go.

Munchery Munchery is a San Francisco startup that was recently in the news for raising $28 million in venture funding. It's same-day delivery service of foods from local, talented chefs. The menu changes every day, and you can order days in advance or the same day. They're delivered chilled, so all you have to do is heat it up. The best part is, Munchery uses eco-friendly products and helps feed people in need by donating a portion of the proceeds for each meal to the SF & Marin Food Bank.

Zipongo Zipongo is a digital health company that provides a platform with personalized meal plans, digital shopping lists, and discounts on the foods you want to buy. It has partnerships with grocery stores like Trader Joe's and Safeway, and offers subscription services for individuals and companies.

It lists the most current choices for seafood and sushi, ordered by characteristics such as how they are caught, how endangered they are, and how environmentally friendly and sustainable the fishing or farming practices used are. It was created by scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Best Coffee To promote local and specialty coffee shops, Blue Crow Mediacreated "Best Coffee" for London, Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. The company is also releasing a "Coffee Challenge" app, to test your knowledge about coffee from the plant to the cup.
