Allergen sensor to revolutionize the way we eat?
I doubt it, but it could at least help, right?
This little “allergen detector” is supposed to test for milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soy. Those are the top 8 items that make up 90% of all food allergies.
“The Nose” is just a concept at this point and isn’t actually developed yet. I can’t help but wonder how many people would actually use it, though. Most of those allergies are ones that can be life threatening.
Are you willing to risk using a handheld device to tell you if your chef dipped the tomato soup ladel in the seafood chowder one first, if you’re deathly allergic to shrimp? Probably not. Because if all it takes is a trace, do you really think a sensor is going to pick up such a minute amount? Eh. Maybe one day.
