The app&amp;amp;#39;s database contains the vast majority of products available in the grocery store, and scans them for many different allergens, ranging from the &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/the-most-common-food-allergies-1324134&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;#34;big eight&amp;amp;#34; food allergens&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; to less common allergens, such as celery, mustard and sulphites.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;ContentChecked also makes SugarChecked, which scans for added sugar, artificial sweeteners, and sugar alcohol.

If you are traveling to a new city, you can use the app to search for convenient, allergy-friendly restaurants.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The AllergyEats website was started 2010 by Paul Antico, after he experienced difficulty finding safe restaurants for his three children with food allergies.

The database is national and comprehensive.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The app shows locations of nearby hospitals on a map, with a bar at the bottom of the screen that reads &amp;amp;#34;The closest &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.verywell.com/emergency-room-101-2614866&amp;quot; data-component=&amp;quot;link&amp;quot; data-source=&amp;quot;inlineLink&amp;quot; data-type=&amp;quot;internalLink&amp;quot; data-ordinal=&amp;quot;1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;ER&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; is __ miles away.
