A Gadget

Post by Deb »

I wonder how accurate it will be.

Well, good news for anyone trying to go gluten-free: a company in San Francisco is working on a portable device that can detect gluten in food!

People with celiac disease will likely welcome this development. But even those with undiagnosed gluten issues, or gluten sensitivities, should appreciate a handy device to ferret out the devious little wheat protein that causes so many problems.

The device is called the Canary (like the one in the coal mine), and it's being developed by 6SensorLabs. Unfortunately, the Canary isn't on the market yet, but the company wants to make it available next year, for less than $150 per device.

That dog, does it read labels or really smell gluten through the container? ;-)
It would be more fun than a gadget, well maybe, but it would be easier to take the gadget everywhere.
