Section 6
AI Apps That Spot Allergens in Food
Section 7
The big idea
Apps can read labels with AI and shout 'PEANUTS!' or 'DAIRY!' if those are in the food. They are super helpful, but never the only check.
Some examples
- Point your phone at a snack — the app reads the label
- AI can mistake a hard-to-read label for the wrong word
- Cross-contamination ('made in a factory with...') matters too
- Always check with a parent for any food you are allergic to
Try it!
Look at a food label at home. Find the 'contains' or 'allergens' line. AI just reads what is already there.
Section 8
AI and the allergy detective
Section 9
The big idea
Doctors use AI to look at food and pollen patterns to figure out what made you sneeze.
Some examples
- AI compares your sneezes to pollen counts
- AI groups foods you ate before a rash
- Doctors still ask how you feel
- Doctors still order the right tests
Try it!
Keep a 'sneeze diary' for 3 days and look for a pattern.
