Gipsee, was formed to provide practical solutions to make it safer for those with food allergies and dietary restrictions to eat out at restaurants, schools, cafeterias or, any place where prepared foods are served.

Over 25 million people in the US struggle every day to find safe eating options considering their unique dietary restrictions and preferences, such as food allergies, gluten-intolerances, vegetarian/vegan  needs. People with such dietary restrictions often find eating out to be an unpleasant, unwelcoming, and sometimes a frightening experience.

Increasingly, many restaurants and eating places are disclosing allergen information, typically on their websites by identifying the major food allergen categories such as Dairy, Gluten, Eggs. In practicality, food allergies manifest themselves in various combinations of food ingredients and often fall outside of the realm of these ‘major’ categories. Gipsee was formed to simplify and automate allergen identification by introducing an interactive element to the process.

In simple terms, a consumer selects foods/ ingredients that they wish to avoid, and the system instantly produces a list of menu items that may be safe for consumption, given each consumers unique set of restrictions. The allergen identification process not only identifies known food allergens but also considers food derivatives and their potential allergenic properties*.

The founders of Gipsee, have many years of experience in the technology field, and in the natural and organic food industry. They have been personally affected with the difficulties associated with trying to find safe foods to eat outside of the home, given dietary and food allergy restrictions in their immediate family.
