Mom is grocery shopping for her family.

Mom picks up a box of crackers- are they safe for everyone? She shakes her iPhone, aims the camera at the UPC barcode on the package, and with a quick scan NutriSleuth gives her a read-out: a Red Light indicates a severe conflict with her sons peanut allergy. Theres no need to read the ingredients, she puts the box down and moves on
