A new site and app for those with food allergies and intolerances

Foodmaestro for those with food allergies

FoodMaestro is a new online site with a free-to-download app aimed at those with food allergies and intolerances.

New free app available to help manage your diet and food allergies

Created in partnership with Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust, the site offers information on over 30,000 ingredients and immediate access to nutritional information on 100,000 UK food products via a built-in bar code scanner in the app.

Users can create personalised dietary profiles and personal product lists. They can find food products by name or keywords, and analyse them for nutritional value, and discover allergen information on each ingredient.

The new service is targeted at families with food allergies and intolerances to enable them to shop safely from home or at the supermarket. It could put dieticians, who spend hours researching and reviewing products to recommend to their patients, out of business!
