The Food Rescue App project is about understanding expiry dates and the behaviour of food as it ages, in order to combat consumer food waste. It will result in additions to the Open Food Facts mobile applications, server software and web interface, but will probably also result in its own mobile application that utilizes barcode and category data from Open Food Facts.

This project received funding from the German Ministry of Education and Research between 2020-03 to 2020-08. In Germany, the project is known and promoted under the name "Real MHD App", where "MHD" is the typical abbreviation of "Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum", the German word for best-before date.
