As far as I understand this, the scanner is nothing more than a glorified barcode-scanner. It can only identify items already in their database and all the properties that it can find about the scanned item is stuff that has been manually entered into the database.

So if I scan a piece of cheese, I won't be getting the data about my specific piece of cheese but rather the same information from the back of the package which was manually entered into their database.
