1. An informative food storage system, the system comprising:
a client device comprising a scanning module, an upload module, and an informative engine; a server with a network link to the client device, wherein the server comprises a database; and a container comprising a scannable code,
wherein the scannable code is recorded by a scanning module on the client device;wherein the informative engine:
determines whether the scannable code is present in the database;when the scannable code is not present:
receives description information from a user input of the client device, the information associated with the scannable code;determines an expiration date associated with the scannable code; andstores the scannable code, the associated information, and the expiration date in the client device;when the scannable code is present:
retrieves the information associated with the scannable code;determines whether the expiration date associated with the scannable code is past a present date;alerts the user when the expiration date is past a present date; anddisplays the information in a user interface of the client device;wherein the upload module transmits the scannable code, the expiration date and the information associated with the scannable code to the server through the network link.
