Inspiration

I was inspired by a video I watched of a woman who bakes custom cakes for individuals with allergens/food intolerances. She discussed the research she would do to find the ingredients and how intensive it was. I believe a tool like this can help.

What it does

  • Searches for queried ingredients in products or recipes and generates equivalent substitutions. For example, a gluten allergy can use this to generate recipes with needed substitutions.
  • Scans photo of products or ingredient lists for ingredients and outputs if they could possibly contain specific ingredients. For example, marking your account to avoid gluten and taking a photo of a product ingredient list that has Malt Vinegar will let the user know that it contains Gluten.
  • Processes ingredient list and returns if it can contain the ingredient (i.e. Malt Vinegar contains malt vinegar).

How we built it

  • Use Gemini to substitute ingredients for users who want to substitute ingredients.
  • Scan product or ingredient list with Vertex AI OCR and outputs if it may contain specific ingredients.
  • Processes ingredient list and returns if it can contain the ingredient (i.e. Malt Vinegar contains gluten).
