No Milk

When people are diagnosed with a food allergy they have to change their dietary habits, which can be confusing and frustrating. Trips to the supermarket turn into endless reading sessions, scanning labels and planning around forbidden ingredients. Debbie Hovens has created an online platform to make life easier for these people. Enter your allergy and browse the system to find out which products are lactose-free and where to buy them. Or search the application to find recipes for some home-made alternatives. ‘No Milk’ focuses on a milk allergy but can serve as a template for other food allergies as well.
