    Add ORGANIC to goals and conditions or things you want that would add lots of points

    Knowing what brands of food are organic and the value of those organic products would be great knowledge! i think its imperative that you add the organic option to the things you want column

    We'd love to be able to add that, too. We're thinking about the best way to make this possible. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Multiple profiles

    Would be great if I could set up profiles for everyone in my family. For example, my husband is allergic to peanuts and I'm not. Can I set up two profiles?

    Status: planned

    As soon as we have user accounts ready to go, we'll be giving you the ability to manage profiles for the whole family.

    add corn allergy

    i love your site, but i am allergic to corn. i need food items analyzed to show me details about corn or corn-based ingredients. In USA, this is extremely difficult!

    Status: under review

    We know there are lots of folks out there concerned with corn allergies. I'm sure it's really hard to unearth corn in everything! We'll look into how we might be able to meet your need.

    Taste filter, with community/user generated taste ratings

    Can Shopwell include a taste filter, and then allow users to rate the taste of food items contained in the database? Since taste is one of, if not the most important factors in determining food and beverage purchase and consumption, this would be an extremely valuable addition to the rating… more

    Status: under review

    Yes, we see great importance in a community generated taste rating system and hope to implement this in the future. Thanks for the suggestion! It's on our radar.

    low to no sodium, low to no msg

    On 2200 mg salt diet for heart condition; would like a "don't want" option for salt. Although low sodium is shown as request, searches brought back far too many items and most with high sodium level. Would take too much time to use this site and sort through all returned… more

    Status: planned

    Yes, we realized that just "want low sodium" wasn't adequate so our next site update that should be live next week will provide a "don't want high sodium" option. Hopefully, this helps you weed out many of the products! The best way to use it will be to select "don't want high sodium" and then use the filters on the upper right of the search results page to hide products with an "X." We hope this improves your site experience! Also, we hope to add an MSG filter in the near future. Thanks for the note.

    want and don't want list is too limited

    I am not happy with the limited list of things offered about what I want and I don’t want. I need to have the freedom to enter things I want or I don’t want. For example, If I cannot eat Garlic or Onion, what can I do to filter out… more

    Status: under review

    We started with the most common food allergies but are looking to add more over time. Thanks for putting garlic and onion on our radar.

    more filters, please

    I like the concept of putting together my preferred profile, and found that it was helpful in sorting through the products.
    I wondered if there were filters that I did not immediately see for "cheapskate" "I fear pesticides" or "Made in California"?

    Status: under review

    Yes, we're looking at adding more filters and are looking to our site visitors for which preferences we should add first. These are some great suggestions that we will be sure to take into consideration. Thanks!
