It hit me that the pressure on Facebook to stop this from happening is paradoxically forcing them to actually spy on people in a way they currently are not. What I mean by this is that in order to rule out any recommendations based on a coincidence or double reveal, they actually would YES have to spy on their users. Yes spy on users, in order to avoid the supposed creepiness. So that then they can see, oh this user claimed on Whatsapp he enjoys eating cat food (this is my go-to example for Whatsapp alleged creepiness), let's make sure not to show any ads for cat food so he doesn't freak out. And for those purposes double reveals and coincidences are identical, they both require mining the Whatsapp messages to identify them because they both appear on Whatsapp messages.
Forget completely about the impact on ads of showing users ads about anything except what they want, which is a real concern for Facebook. It's a for-profit company after all, it is meant to care about that.
But no matter, focus only on how public pressure affects them: the public is basically forcing them to do precisely the misdeed they are not doing, that they are accused of doing, in order to appease its accusers.

If not, the barcode is send to OpenFoodFacts.org API to retrieve information about the product like the name. Now you can simply fill in the amount and hit save.
It's also possible to add multiple items/barcodes to one item on the list. This is especially handy when you don't buy the same brand every time.
Sadly for now not all food products are in the API. You can of course add everything by hand in the app. Or support the OpenFoodFacts project by adding the product there.
Updating the list can also be easily done by scanning barcodes. To help you the app can also prevent the screen from turning off when the app is openend on the screen.
The app supports multiple lists and sharing lists with other users. Sharing the list can simply be done by hitting the share button on the list edit screen.
