McDonalds Japan places QR Codes on Big Macs

McDonald’s is now placing QR codes on the packaging of many foods so that eaters can scan the package with their cell phones and find out the nutritional information. CalorieLab reports via digg.

"Scanning the QR Code on any of 19 sandwiches, eight sides and five salads brings up a URL, which will take customers to the nutritional information for the food they are eating.

Customers will be able to view the amount of calories in their meal, as well as the amount of sodium, fat, protein and carbs. Information is available both for individual items and meals.

Customers can also find out about allergy information, though it might be a little too late by the time you’ve already purchased your meal."
