Abstract: A recommendation for purchase or selection of a package of food to a consumer, such as a retail of wholesale purchaser of the food package, or a direct or indirect consumer of the food contained in the food package is generated by selecting at least one nutritional value from a food package label by optical character recognition of a representation of the selected nutritional value as it is presented on the package of food. The at least one selected nutritional value is compared to at least one recommended nutritional value corresponding to the selected nutritional value to form at least one comparison value. The comparison value is employed to generate a recommendation that is displayed to the consumer, such as by superimposing the recommendation over an image on a display screen of the food package label as an augmented reality, or in real time, meaning that the recommendation appears simultaneously with the optical character recognition of the nutritional value, wherein the recommendation is displayed with, or is superimposed on an image on the display screen of the representation of the nutritional value, thereby making a recommendation of the food package to the consumer.
