Another helpful tool for people dealing with food allergies is on the horizon. Expected out in mid July 2010, NutriSleuth iphone App allows users to plug in dietary requirements for an instant "yes" or "no" reading within seconds of scanning a product's barcode. Individualized profiles allow users to determine if the food is allowed for each family member. It even offers alternative choices!
Aahhh...simplified grocery shopping...

I'm still not convinced that an app that scans product barcodes is going to cut it in the real world.
Ingredients and manufacturing processes change and you wouldn't want to be caught out with old info.
I've just released an app called iAllergens that's just like the offline allergy cards that list all the allergen terms for the top 9 food allergies. Simple and fast and with you everywhere you go.
Let me know if you'd like a review copy.
