=== What is a Scan Party? ===
    
A Scan Party is a collaborative event where a group of people gather to scan the barcodes of food products using their smartphones. The scanned data, including product name, brand, ingredients, nutritional information, and even packaging details, are then uploaded to Open Food Facts, a free, open-source database of food products from around the world.
