  "summary": "Using food package images to monitor sodium and salt content against South Africa's R214 sodium limits is challenging when screening decisions require product identity, nutrition facts panel evidence, reporting basis, and category-specific thresholds. This study presents a conservative image-based workflow that combines region detection, optical character recognition (OCR), product identity and…",
