I have celiacs, so I'm making a database of every single labeled gluten-free product in grocery stores. (I have 8,858 products across 243 grocery categories).

I have celiacs, so I'm making a database of every single labeled gluten-free product in grocery stores. (I have 8,858 products across 243 grocery categories).
GF products are expensive and hit or miss, I really wanted something where I could keep track of my favorite items. I also want to let people rank them, so maybe I can discover the best gluten free hamburger bun (Rudi's Brioche), or beer (Glutenberg Blonde).
I'm also making a user submitted recipe section, so say you want to recreate a Taco Bell Doritos Locos Taco, it's easy to link to the products you need.
I'm not sure where this project is headed but I couldn't find any jobs working in this space so decided to make something to help myself.
- denysvitali 2y agoOpenFoodFacts?
- byyoung3 2y agotheres some debate around the idea that gluten might be mildly toxic to everyone, so I could see this being really useful to everyone
- nake89 2y agoAnything peer reviewed or merely conjecture?
- fraXis 2y agoDo you plan on releasing this to the public?
- modo_mario 2y agoI gotta agree with the other poster that it might be worth looking at openfoodfacts. I encountered them at fosdem and they seemed eager to accept contributors.
