Product-safety is a food product analysis tool.

This is the official backend repository. The frontend is bare HTML, CSS, JS.

It lets users look up products by barcode or name, fetches details from OpenFoodFacts, and uses an LLM to answer product-related questions like:

• "Is this safe if I have an allergy?"
• "Can I eat this while bodybuilding?"
• "How often can I consume this and stay in shape?"

• 🔎 Lookup products by barcode
• 📦 Get key nutritional, allergen, and ingredient info
• 💬 Chat-like interface powered by LLM (powered by groq) for product Q&A

• Backend: FastAPI (Python)
• DB: No DB, just Redis!
• APIs: OpenFoodFacts, LLM provider (e.g., OpenAI)
