Helping you Snap & Snack safely and efficiently!
Hello! I'm from Avon, CT and a student at Avon Old Farms School. I'm have been interested in technology and coding since I took my first Computer Science class in 9th grade. Since then, I have worked on many community projects and have even gotten to work with people directly to contribute to technology accessibility.
For 32 million Americans living with food allergies, eating anything but the food that they’ve seen being made in front of them could pose a severe or even life-threatening risk. A single, simple mistake like a forgotten ingredient label, a shared utensil, or a trace amount of an allergen could lead to a severe and sometimes life-threatening reaction. Imagine having to double-check every meal, every snack, every bite, every day.
I am allergic to both dairy and eggs, which are two ingredients that appear not only in obvious foods like ice cream, but also in unexpected places such as hand soaps containing milk proteins. Knowing that my allergens could appear almost anywhere at any time has always been a major source of anxiety.
With Snap & Snack, you can now enjoy your favorite foods with peace of mind, using the app to scan food products and ensure they are free of any potential allergens. Whether you scan by barcode, list of ingredients, or translate, you can be a little less worried about about the risk of human error and the exhaustion of manual verification.
