Aug 1 RESOURCES: Spokin App

“A food allergy app and lifestyle platform on a mission to make managing food allergies and celiac easier”

Spokin was founded by Susie Hultquist, a food allergy mother for over 20 years and with a BSc in Finance and an MBA. After years of frustrations and research she developed Spokin - “a trusted, solution-based resource providing a combination of content, community, and tools all with the common goal to make it easier, faster, and safer to manage food allergies”.

With 90k reviews in 130 countries, Spokin is my resource to find allergy safe areas when I am traveling. The spokin community can rate, review and search multiple categories to ease their lives.

“Our mission is to build the ultimate food allergy resource. A go-to spot to provide just what you need, when you need it, regardless of your experience level.”

Spokin also puts out guides based on the community reviews, top rated products, travel desitinations, and share ‘meet the maker’ to “learn about some of our favorite food allergy-friendly brands and businesses and hear their story!” Brands submit their products to Spokin in the hopes to be Spokin Verified. The Spokin Verified Brand Program puts their information in one place, introducing the products to the consumers who need them, giving information they need to feel comfortable, and providing a purchase link to make it easy. If you want to verify your product go here.

How can I review?

You can download the Spokin App, make your profile and start searching and reviewing!

Unfortunately, it is only availble for iphone users, but android users can add their email to their waiting list to be notified when the app is available to them.

When you look at my guides and all the places and products I review on this blog, a lot of the information came from Spokin. Spokin is my first point of research - it has become my google for allergies. I seach for safe food, new places to eat, and discovering new people in the community - I especially love connecting with people who have the same/similar allergies to me (ps. you can follow them and thank them for their reccommendations).

I am a Spokin International Ambassador.

While we don’t have verified brands outside of the United States and Canada yet, I will always promote something to you that has helped my life! Spokin, along side Equal Eats (which is Spokin verified), have made my life easier, safer and better.

Spokin is THE reason I was able to eat gelato for the first time in Venice.

If you are still not conviced to download the app. Please hear from other members from the community:

“The Spokin guardrail, “what is best for the person managing food allergies” is the driving force behind every decision we make. The majority of the Spokin team personally manages food allergies, so it’s not just a job, it’s our life.”
