Abstract
A fresh food return processing system may include a mobile wireless communications device associated with a user to obtain an image of a previously purchased fresh food product, and initiate a mobile return of the previously purchased fresh food product based upon the image. A server may store a product purchase history associated with the user, obtain the image from the mobile wireless communications device, and provide the image to a machine learning algorithm to train the machine learning algorithm to identify the previously purchased fresh food product from the image. The server may also verify a purchase by the given user based upon comparing the identification of the image via the machine learning algorithm and the product purchase history associated with the given user, and generate and communicate a user credit redeemable toward a future purchase based upon verifying the purchase by the user.
