The prevalence of potentially dangerous food allergies is on
the rise. According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, food allergies among children increased by approximately 50 percent
between 1997 and 2011. For parents and family members, the threat of
anaphylaxis is enough to cause nightmares when shopping for food at the local
grocery store, but a recent article by Forbes highlighted one solution that’s
rapidly gaining steam in the nutritional market: ContentChecked.
ContentChecked by Content Checked Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:
CNCK) served as the centerpiece of the Forbes article, which detailed the
dangers presented by seemingly innocuous details located on food labels. A
small print warning that a product could contain ‘a trace amount of walnut’
could be enough to cause a serious reaction and, in some cases, an emergency
room visit. For parents of children with newly-diagnosed food allergies,
ContentChecked is an ideal tool for avoiding these dietary missteps.
The company’s dedicated team of nutritional experts have
analyzed a wide array of currently-available products for potential allergens,
giving shoppers a more convenient way to navigate the perils of food allergies.
When potentially dangerous ingredients are present in a scanned product, the
app suggests a safe alternative, meaning that finding suitable grocery options
is a much safer and less stressful endeavor.
Forbes hailed CNCK’s app as part of a new concept in
healthcare known as precision medicine. Instead of focusing on a disease once
it occurs, apps like ContentChecked, as well as the company’s SugarChecked and
MigraineChecked, serve as a type of preventative care that has the potential to
save millions of dollars in related hospital expenses. According to Food Allergy
Research and Education, food allergy reactions currently account for more than
200,000 emergency room visits each year.
By achieving coverage in international publications such as
Forbes, CNCK is in a strengthened position to expand upon the adoption of its
innovative suite of apps in the coming months. In a recent news release, the
company announced plans to execute an extended growth plan aimed at improving
the availability of its current apps in markets around the globe.
