feat: Celiac Diseased patient should get instant info about gluten free products #3566

Problem

Celiac Diseased patients are strongly Allergic to gluten products like

A gluten-free diet (GFD) is a nutritional plan that strictly excludes gluten, which is a mixture of proteins found in wheat (and all of its species and hybrids, such as spelt, kamut, and triticale), as well as barley, rye, and oats.[1] The inclusion of oats in a gluten-free diet remains controversial, and may depend on the oat cultivar and the frequent cross-contamination with other gluten-containing cereals.[2][3][4][5]

Additional context

Since you know a large number of people got get diagnosed with Celiac disease and they can't intake products with Gluten since they are allergic to Gluten. I want this App to give an alert to Celiac person if product being scanned has Gluten and should show alert if the product is Gluten free

Mockups

I will provide later on Here is general idea like Scanning the product it instantly gives notification like this is Gluten product if you are Celiac patient please check other products that are Gluten free

Part of this I can do?

I am a Flutter developer and i know this is possible to do Lets all discuss this What ii will do I will design UI plus notification showing plus i can detect Gluten products Thanks Lets have a sound discussion and Implementation

@adilwahla Basically it's already there, if you put the "allergen / no gluten / mandatory" user preference. Could that be optimized, UX-wise? Probably. Are our data reliable enough regarding the gluten-free value? That's another story. Capture d’écran 2023-01-10 à 17 41 59

Basically our positioning and peculiar feature would be that this app will make sure to detect the cross contamination hence making it much more safe and reliable for celiacs Basically gluten intolerants and celiacs are different, former can eat gluten traces or contamination but the later cannot

If its 100% free of Gluten it should show smiley with text "safe for Celiac's"
