Are you allergic to gluten? How about soy or dairy? Nuts? For those suffering from any or all of these common allergies, shopping for safe food can be tricky. While your best bet is to always buy fresh, sometimes you just can't- sometimes it's expensive, or sometimes you need something in a can or a bag for a recipe.
My girlfriend suffers from several allergies, and we've found that the ShopWell app is really handy! You set it up by entering your allergies and your personal details (sex, age, etc) and then you simply use the app to scan barcodes on the food in question. The app will not only tell you if the food contains any of the things you're allergic to, but it also tells you whether the food is a good match for you based on nutritional content. The app is free, and can be found here: http://www.shopwell.com/home/mobile
Happy eating!
