For those with severe food allergies, Nima has their portable gluten and peanut detectors on sale for the first time for $234 USD. Us Canadians will also need to pay about $40 USD shipping via UPS.
To use it, you put a pea-sized portion of the food you want to test into a test capsule and insert it into the device. The device apparently analyzes the food and delivers a result in a minute or so. The device is small enough to be put in your pocket. The test capsules are one-time use only, and they are about $5 USD each. They are on sale too. Sale ends Sep 30th.
Does it work? The gluten sensor apparently does. The peanut sensor just came out last month.
Yes, it's still pretty expensive, but they are really the only kind of device out there. It *may* qualify as a medical device you can get reimbursed by your health insurance, but YMMV. I could see it handy at a social event like a wedding banquet or a lunch interview or traveling in a foreign country where food safety is more lax.
P.S. Unfortunately, the peanut sensor only tests peanuts, not almonds, cashews, etc.
