Summary: With the rapid growth of modern technology, people are moving from telephone to a mobile phone. From the mobile phone it evolves to a smartphone where most people are using internet as part of their daily life. In terms of food ordering, people evolve from the traditional method which is a phone call to a more modernized method which is ordered using an online platform. It is great that people are used with the digitalization. But the problem is for people with food allergy. The risk of ordering food online is because the food contains any kind of allergen that may harm the buyer. This is because most people are only having low symptoms. With the current platform available in Malaysia, it does not focus on any food allergy. Other than that, people are not aware about the allergen that may contain in their food as there is little to no warning during the food ordering. The solution is EatSafely where it guides the user by eating safely. EatSafely is an application that will help to view the list of ingredients of the food and filter food with food allergy especially on Crustaceans allergen. The purpose of this application is to improve awareness about food allergy among food providers and people and to avoid the risk faced by people with food allergy. With this application, people can check their food ingredients before proceeding in the ordering on the platform like Food Panda or Grab Food. EatSafely application was developed using Ionic as its main framework, angular as its back-end function and will use Firebase as its database. The reason for using Ionic-Angular is to provide the availability for both major environment which are IOS and Android. The application was tested by a group of people by doing an application demonstration to prove the functionality of the application. Lastly, the application was being testing using System Usability Scale (SUS) testing to collect the data and feedback about the application.
