AltMenuMap

AltMenuMap is a mobile + web app that helps people avoid factory-farmed animal products by finding nearby restaurants and groceries with credible higher-welfare or plant-based alternatives. Users search by location and filter by verified labels (e.g., Certified Humane, GAP levels), plant-based options, and price range. The app focuses on “what you can actually buy today,” including chain-specific menu items, store-brand products, and availability notes. A lightweight AI layer parses menus and product pages to flag likely factory-farm sources, but the app is explicit about uncertainty and requires human confirmation for “verified” status. Community submissions are allowed, but only become “trusted” after evidence (photo of packaging, receipt, or menu screenshot) and moderator review. It’s practical, local, and designed for incremental change rather than purity tests.
