Samsung Food alternative
A Samsung Food alternative that builds your pantry from a photo
No Samsung fridge needed. Snap your fridge, a receipt or a barcode and get dinners from what you have.

Pantry Pic builds your pantry from a photo of your fridge, a grocery receipt or a barcode, suggests meals from what you have and adds only the missing items to your shopping list.
