Food Allergies alert on barcode scanner and logging features

Set it up with the barcode scanner and the food logging feature where you can add certain items which will cause an alert if you scan the barcode, or when you search for it in the food log.
This is needed because:
I, luckily, have no known allergies, but I have several friends with extreme allergies to certain foods. Not just your normal peanuts and shellfish allergies, but also, coconut, dairy (not just lactose intolerant), etc. A feature like that could make buying groceries easier for those with extreme worries. It could also save lives.
I'd use this: Weekly

I think this would be a great addition. Maybe they could join forces with another app? I don't know if one that has this feature, yet.
