At a restaurant, you can order whatever you want and the chef will make it for you. You can specify exactly what you want, from toppings to temperatures to ingredients.
However, when it comes to apps, it’s not that easy. Sure, there are more than two million of them on the Apple App Store, but if you have a food allergy or dietary restriction, many of those apps aren’t going to do much for you.
Enter these six apps. They’ll help you figure out which foods are safe to eat and where they can be found. Plus, they’ll send up alerts if there’s any new information about the food you eat or the places where you buy it. Guess what? Your perfect app exists!
