Nestle's increasingly popular $600-per-year subscription programme has consumers send photos of their meals through a smartphone app which AI analyses and suggests products to take to round out their meals. The company says it will use its data for research into how people can eat healthier by analysing what they eat, where they're eating it, when they're eating, whether it's at home or out, and other factors. Kozo Takaoka, head of Nestle's business in Japan, said the programme helps consumers take supplements based on what they're lacking.
