Introducing the Fig App

Published on November 29, 2021

We’re excited to announce that the Fig App is available to download for free on both iOS and Android in the US. 

Our team started Fig after feeling overwhelmed by our various dietary restrictions (food allergies, IBS, histamine issues, intolerances, and more). 

Fig (which stands for “Food is Good”) is meant to answer the question, “What can I actually eat at the grocery store?”

So, what can you do with the Fig app?

It’s hard finding food after getting a list of 50+ ingredients you need to avoid. It’s even harder to enjoy food. Nobody should have to spend 2 hours reading ingredient labels at the grocery store.

Fig helps you scan, shop, and search the world of food with ease, regardless of your dietary needs.

Let’s take a look at what you can do with the app!

1. Create your Fig for ALL of your dietary needs

Your Fig is like your own personal food fingerprint. It’s a digital version of how YOU eat – any diets you follow and any food allergies, intolerances or preferences you have. 

Walnut allergy? Low FODMAP? Citric acid intolerance? Fig has you covered to the ingredient level with the help of our expert dietitians. 

Your needs may change over time, but so can your Fig.

2. See what you CAN eat at the grocery store

When you go to the store, it may feel like every product has your triggers. You just want to know what you can eat. And that’s exactly what you can do now!

Just select a store and instantly see everything that likely matches your Fig there.

Fig members have already discovered countless dressings, salsas, protein powders, and more. Now it’s your turn to find some new, tasty foods that you CAN eat!

3. Instantly check if a product works for you

With the barcode scanner, you’re able to know if a product matches your Fig or not in under a second. Just scan the barcode and we’ll compare the ingredients and allergen statement to your Fig.

No more reading through a printed list of your restrictions or googling every ingredient!
