Micro-SaaS for sale

Recipe scanner that flags hidden allergens instantly

Scan recipes to spot hidden allergens before you cook and stay safe every meal

Overview

Allergy sufferers today face constant risks from hidden ingredients in recipes online and in cookbooks โ€” too many recipes lack clear allergen warnings, causing anxiety and limiting safe choices. This app scans ingredients lists and flags potential allergens immediately, helping users cook confidently without tedious label checks. With rising food allergies and DIY cooking trends, users need a reliable daily tool to scan recipes before shopping or cooking for peace of mind.

Growth Opportunity

Food allergies are rising globally, and online recipe platforms rarely address hidden allergens clearly, fueling urgent demand in forums like Redditโ€™s allergy communities and TikTok allergy safety influencers. This tool taps into growing DIY cooking and health-conscious trends, carving a defensible niche by focusing on proactive allergen detection, not just reactive alerts. With targeted execution, it meets a critical unserved need for safe cooking guidance in an increasingly allergen-aware market.
