Epi-Friend

Not all allergies and intolerances are the same

Visit Website
July 2, 2026 I made this free app to help families like ours who struggle with shoping when faced with multiple allergens and intolerance triggers.

Epi-Friend allows you to scan a barcod or the ingredients tab and the app will scan a massive database of products to check whether the allergens you have listed are present in the product you scanned. If they are they show up clearly in Red with a warning so that you know not to give that product to the person who would be affected buy it.

I can foresee multiple developments here for cosmetics and potentially people avoiding certain additives in food that might affect their religious beliefs

Our family of 5 all have different allergies and intolerances - 2 of us use epi-pens for anaphalaxis. Its too easy to buy something that looks safe and find out later it contained something ou are allergic/intolerant to.
