BatchProof

BatchProof is a mobile + web app that lets consumers and small retailers verify whether a specific product batch/lot is affected by safety alerts, not just the generic product name. Users scan a barcode, then optionally OCR the lot/expiry code from the package; the app matches it against recalls, safety notices, and manufacturer advisories aggregated from public regulators and direct brand feeds. It then gives a clear action: stop use, return, monitor, or safe (with confidence level and source links). For retailers, it provides a lightweight “quarantine list” and exportable incident log to pull only impacted inventory instead of wasting time on broad removals. This is an AI-assisted app (OCR + matching + deduping), but the core value is structured batch-level verification and audit trails. Reality check: coverage will be uneven at first because lot-code data is messy; the app must be transparent about uncertainty.
