The Traffic Light App displays product information where each attribute is colored in green, amber or red based on whether it is considered low, medium or high respectively, according to the following table:
| per 100 grams | low (green) | medium (amber) | high (red) |
|---|---|---|---|
| fat | ≤ 3,0 gr. | > 3,0 gr. and ≤ 20,0 gr. | > 20,0 gr. |
| saturates | ≤ 1,5 gr. | >1,5 gr. and ≤ 5,0 gr. | > 5,0 gr. |
| sugar | ≤ 5,0 gr. | > 5,0 gr. and ≤ 12,5 gr. | > 12,5 gr. |
| salt | ≤ 0,3 gr. | > 0,3 gr. and ≤ 1,5 gr. | > 1,5 gr. |
Products are identified by their EAN Code, which is captured either manually or by using a Barcode Scanner also installed.
