Abstract
A smart pantry system is able to build a data store of the food items that a user or household has on hand, and maintain the data store in light of corroborated point of consumption (POC) data. The data store may also include information about those food items, such as names of food items, brands of food items, number of units of food items, quantity of food items, expiration dates, dates that food items were purchased, nutrition information, etc. The system may also leverage the data store to provide recipe recommendations and/or notifications to a user.
