So what if you consistently look for these types of dishes when you eat out at restaurants? That’s where this very interesting startup comes in. What they are developing is a phone-sized device to make life easier for individuals with food sensitivities. The original goal was to create a way for consumers to quickly tell which offending food proteins were present in their meals. One of the founders said in an interview that they are working on making the sensor aesthetically appealing enough to whip out at the dinner table during social gatherings. But it doesn’t stop with gluten: they foresee the possibility of expanding this technology to other common offenders like nuts, dairy, and shellfish. And if that doesn’t sound futuristic enough for you, they also want to try it out on bacteria and pesticides. Looks like we are one step closer to finally getting a Tricorder. Soon, You Could Own a Device That Scans Your Food for Gluten | Entrepreneur
