Original Note:
Scanning a barcode is not an accurate method for use in boycotting. App looks for a prefix for a GS1 member registered country. Ex. US manufacturers who support Israel use multiple American barcode prefixes. If true, it will flag all American products with same prefix. https://www.barcoding.com/blog/barcode-prefixes-and-product-country-of-origin#:~:text=Barcode%20Prefixes%20%26%20Country%20of%20Origin&text=When%20a%20company%20registers%20with,of%20the%20GS1%20member%20country.
