An FDA regulation system that records the presence of allergens in every food product, restaurant, and food delivery app. With a dedicated app, FAI scans food items and menus with our unified label system to quickly identify potential allergens.
We conducted empathy interviews to gain insight on the everyday challenges of living with food allergies in order to pinpoint core user needs.
After noticing common themes in user needs, next step the was ideating the best solutions. We determined that users required greater control over their food when introduced to an unfamiliar store product, restaurant, or when ordering delivery.
Upon finalizing our features, we designed the UI of the FAI app, focusing on clarity, identifiability, and ease of use—all important when addressing potential life-threatening allergies.
The scannable FAI logo is made to be sleek and simple for easy identification. Made up of the FDA logo, the unique item code, and an action statement so users know what to do.
To create a feasible system, there must be rules and structure to provide consistency and compliance across all food items and manufacturers.
We made food allergen checking an easier and faster task. With the help of a unified food-label across all food products, there is a regulation system that will keep track of all allergen contaminations. As the FAI app can pull this information from the database, results will be instant and accurate.
Expanding the allergen identification to vending machines, which due to the glass barrier is impossible to view the ingredients without having to looking them up.
