Sean Cash is right on. It should be easy for people to know if a food product is right for them. Especially if they have a chronic condition, food allergy, or medical diet. But info on the label is hard to decipher, and time consuming. At Sifter #foodasmedicine we built the solution--simple, manageable diet filters that are personal and make it easy to find foods that fit. Online, or with our Scan by Diet mobile app in the store. Sifter also makes it easy to create medically tailored shopping lists. We're proud to support the efforts of Tuft's Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy and our partners using Sifter technology to make healthy shopping a reality. And we welcome collaboration with every forward-thinking company working to this goal.
