Title: Student Innovation Project relating to Food Allergen Labeling
Post by: wearerobo on February 07, 2012, 04:46:48 PM
Hello,
The theme of this year's First Lego League Robotics and Innovation Prize Competition is on Food Safety. Our team has come up with a food safety barcode containing allergen information that can be applied to menus and food packaging. 2 of our 4 members have food allergies (peanuts and milk/dairy) so this is close at heart for our team. We would love if members could comment on our ideas and vote if you like it and want to bring a stronger awareness of food allergen as part of the food safety issue. The kids ideas were derived from historical cases such as the unfortunate tragedy relating to the allergen incident at Bertucci's restaurant. Please go to this site:
Also on our submitted project page is a link to a 6-minute video of the kids project. I hope that you can vote for our idea. We noted that the "Vote" button does not work in IE7 so you have to use other browsers or IE8 and above. Any comments here regarding our project will be appreciated.

This is a great idea! :) Very impressive. I recommend you also post at www.kidswithfoodallergies.org They have 28,000 members now and you might get a lot of votes from people there. I like the idea of people with being able to eat in restaurants using this method. :)
Good job!
