Inspiration

With covid-19 cases rapidly rising, staying inside and quarantining has become more important than ever. Simple tasks such as meeting your friends, buy necessities, or even going to work has become compromised. In specific, ordering grocery items has been more difficult as finding items that pertain to your allergens are hard to find.

What it does

Allergy Alert is an app that provides users with all of the available allergen-free products in the U.S.

How I built it

Using Java, I built a program that produces all of the allergen-free products.

First, the program takes an input of what the user's allergens as well as the product that they want. The program contains a txt.file that has a list of packaged products and its ingredients (from the USDA food database). Using a BufferedReader, the program reads the csv file and detects products that pertain to the user and don't have the users allergens. At the end, it prints out all of the products as well as the number of products available to the user.

What's next for Allergy Alert

In the future, I plan on adding a few features such as where you can buy the product from, ratings of the product, and an Google Maps api for directions to the closest product. I also plan on publishing it to the app store.
