Competitor Analysis

Shockingly, the current landscape reveals a singular allergy food scanner app named Fig. Regrettably, its product coverage is notably constrained, and users are required to pay a monthly subscription fee, raising concerns about accessibility and affordability in the market.

By creating a new allergen system for the FDA, we believe there is plenty of room for design, accessibility and functionality in the allergy app realm.

Inconvenient Grocery Shopping

Having to constantly look up if something is safe to eat takes precious shopping time away.

Ambiguity in Food Labels

“May contain...” creates difficulty assessing the true contamination levels.

Confusing Food Labels

The abundance of varied terms for one ingredient makes it challenging to confidently buy.
