Hellmann's Uses Google Cloud AI to Transform Leftovers into Meals
Food waste is a massive issue, you know? WRAP tells us that UK households chuck out a whopping 4.7 million tonnes of perfectly good food every year. And get this—up to 10% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions come from food that never even gets eaten. Crazy, right?
To tackle this, Hellmann’s, the folks famous for their yummy mayonnaise, have come up with something pretty cool. They've launched a tool called Meal Reveal, which uses AI to whip up tasty meals from whatever's lurking in your fridge. This AI kitchen buddy runs on Google Cloud, giving it the muscle to quickly scan your fridge and match what's inside to some delicious recipes.
Here's the lowdown on how it works:
- Scan your stash: Just point your phone at your fridge, snap some pics, or shoot a quick video. It's like taking stock of your leftovers.
- Analyse ingredients: Meal Reveal taps into Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform. It uses tools like Gemini Pro Vision and PaLM 2, plus Unilever’s own AI checks, to spot everything from random veggies to forgotten meats.
- Get meal suggestions: With Vertex AI Vector Search and a special Unilever algorithm, it digs through a recipe database and comes up with meal ideas that are anything but boring, sparking your culinary creativity.
Meal Reveal kicked off today, right in the middle of WRAP UK's Food Waste Action Week. This campaign's all about getting businesses, government groups, and global partners to team up and create tools to slash food waste and help folks save some cash.
Give Meal Reveal a go today, and check out how we're using generative AI to make our food systems better.

Wow, Hellmann's using AI to turn leftovers into meals is such a cool idea! 😍 I’m always tossing out food I don’t know what to do with, so this could be a game-changer. Gotta wonder, though—will it suggest mayo for every recipe? 😂

Hellmann'sがGoogle Cloud AIを使って残り物を料理に変えるなんて天才的！食料廃棄を減らすためのクールな方法で、料理も実際に美味しいです。でも、時々AIの提案がちょっと変で、どの料理にもマヨネーズを勧めるんですよね。それでも、正しい方向への一歩です。頑張って、Hellmann's！👍

Hellmann's usando Google Cloud AI para transformar sobras em refeições é genial! É uma maneira legal de combater o desperdício de alimentos, e as refeições realmente têm um bom gosto. Mas às vezes as sugestões de AI são um pouco estranhas, como sugerir maionese em todos os pratos. Ainda assim, é um passo na direção certa. Continue assim, Hellmann's! 👍

¿Hellmann's usando la IA de Google Cloud para convertir las sobras en comidas? ¡Genial! Es una forma cool de combatir el desperdicio de alimentos, pero no estoy seguro de qué tan sabrosos serán los resultados. Definitivamente un paso en la dirección correcta. ¡Sigue innovando, Hellmann's! 🍲
