This can be improved not only by celiac but for others also who want to learn the ingredients of a product and the possible harmful effects. For example, let's say GlutenScan keep my diseases and information about my health and respond to me when I scan something in the Wallmart "wow this is not good for you as you have diabetes" etc.

@kdrnp Thank you for your message ! Yes that's a good idea ! (I would need to change the app name though) Some people asked me to implement the concept for other allergens / diseases. So the need seems to be present

Hi Product hunters ! 👋 Gluten Scan aims to help people trying to avoid products containing gluten. With Gluten Scan you can: - Scan the barcode of a product and quickly see if it contains gluten or not (orange: gluten | green: gluten-free) - Share your recipes with others (or just keep them privately in your phone) - Add scanned products as ingredients of your recipes - Note products you liked or not - Discover new gluten free products - Contribute if a product has wrong/missing informations Hope it will help some people ! Any feedback appreciated 🔥 * Additional informations: - 33 000 scans last month - You can see the number of product listed in your country here: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/... Have a nice day ☀️

this is awesome, and could serve as a base for more spinoffs like nuts, high fructose corn syrup etc.

@dang_1977 Thank you Dan. Yes the app could be adapted for more substances. I'm thinking of a new version of the app that would ask the user the allergen type at the beginning and adapting according to this choice after

what's the profit strategy?

@avi_parshan There's no profit yet, but I'm trying to get gluten free brands to pay to promote their new products. Like an affiliation program. The other possibility is to make a premium subscription to have unlimited scans. But at the moment it's completely free I did it in my free time
