Patent-pending multiplex probe

Know what's
on your plate
In 60 seconds.

FoodSafe is a pocket-sized device that detects 8 major food allergens right at the table — turning food safety from trust into proof.

The problem

Food allergies are a real-time,
life-threatening risk.

Labels tell you what's supposed to be in the food. They can't tell you what's actually on the plate in front of you.

The Global Burden

Food allergies are a growing global crisis — and many reactions occur before hidden allergens are detected.

An estimated 220–520 million people worldwide have food allergies. Although the number varies by region, about 4–10% of the world's population is affected by clinically diagnosed food allergies, and the number of cases has risen rapidly in recent decades.

Thailand

Thai market situation

  • Anaphylaxis incidence rose 3.5× in 10 years.
  • Over one-third of pediatric anaphylaxis is triggered by food.
  • School meals are served daily without real-time allergen verification.
  • Cross-contamination risk in shared kitchens remains unregulated.

United States

USA market situation

  • 5.6 million children in the U.S. live with food allergies.
  • ~200,000 ER visits every year due to food allergy reactions.
  • 80% of reactions occur outside the home — and severe reactions can escalate within minutes.
  • $24.8B annual economic burden.

This is not a labeling problem.
This is a verification failure.

• Without real-time verification, exposure to hidden allergens can quickly escalate into

The Problem Gap

Current care is reactive. We focus on prevention.

Most allergy responses happen after a reaction has already started. FoodSafeBite is designed for the critical window before exposure occurs.

Current Approach

Reactive, Emergency-Dependent

Epinephrine, ambulance rides, and hospitalization — interventions that only happen after a reaction has already escalated, creating an unsustainable cycle of preventable, expensive care.

Our Focus

Preventive Verification

A proactive, real-time tool that verifies what's actually on the plate — catching hidden allergens before exposure, protecting the diner, and reducing the likelihood of severe reactions before they occur.

Limitations

Limitations of Current Testing Methods

Existing allergen tests are slow, lab-bound, and impractical for real-world dining — leaving a critical gap at the point of decision.

Require laboratory equipment and trained personnel

Time-consuming, often taking hours to days

Not suitable for real-time, point-of-consumption testing

Usually detect only one allergen at a time

Visual result interpretation can lead to user error and misidentification of allergens

Costly when frequent or repeated testing is needed

Impractical for everyday use in restaurants, schools, homes, and while traveling

About

Food safety,
finally verifiable.

For decades, eating with allergies has meant relying on memory, trust, and "may contain" disclaimers. FoodSafe replaces guesswork with a real-time, protein-level reading — so families, schools and kitchens can verify what's on the plate before the first bite.

The Science

Mechanism

FoodSafe uses advanced biosensor technology to detect allergen proteins with laboratory-grade precision.

Engineered Molecular Specificity

Target-specific molecular recognition of heat-stable allergen proteins enables reliable detection of food allergens even after cooking and processing. The sensing system is engineered to selectively bind only its intended allergen targets, ensuring high specificity and minimal cross-reactivity with non-target proteins.
