"Grown by Us" iPhone app allows shoppers to scan products to see where items
were grown

Co-operative Food has unveiled an iPhone app that allows shoppers to scan
products' barcodes to see where items were grown.

Launched at the Royal Bath and West Show, the freely downloadable "Grown by
Us" app also provides information about food and drink produced by Co-operative
Farms, the UK?s largest farmer.

Co-operative Farms cultivates more than 50,000 acres in the UK, and its Grown
by Us range includes products grown on its farms, or made using produce grown by
the business.

Retail competitor Tesco recently announced its iPhone app, which uses the
iPhone
camera for barcode scanning, and also an
app
allowing shoppers to check their Tesco Clubcard points balance.
