Many people in North America suffer from various food allergies (and statistics show that this number is exponentially growing), hence, a portable allergy-testing kit is definitely a worthwhile investment for those who experience severe reactions. Dubbed Allergy Amulet, the innovative technology is super sensitive and "capable of detecting allergenic ingredients in complex foods at clinically-relevant thresholds in seconds."
The portable allergy-testing kit is easy to use with four steps. First, one must insert food into the sampler and turn it to grint. Second, the sampler needs to be connected to Amulet—a device that hangs around one's neck, boasting slick modern jewelry aesthetics. Within seconds, Amulet displays whether an allergen is present. The fourth step is to pair Amulet with a handy app, which is optional.
