SOLUTION FOR FOOD ALLERGIES AND INTOLERANCES BY SORT IT

Author: Karan Ahluwalia

ABSTRACT

Sort It provides a food outlet with a ‘purpose designed’ method for communicating food allergen and intolerance information to its customers in an easy-to-use, intuitive and familiar (to consumers) platform.

The platform allows for centralized control of the communication of ‘allergens’ ensuring that the organization remains compliant with legislation and removes the weak link – training and managing staff to do this in a uniform manner.

Sorted provides consumers with an easy to use method to quickly identify products and foodstuffs that are/are not safe for them to consume, making it a better consumer experience. It is versatile and can combine different allergens and intolerances tailored to the individual and is available on their smartphone or at information points in the outlet.
