Xena-Shira Grossman

Xena-Shira Grossman (SAR’07) of Ojai, Calif., was a research coordinator at Boston Medical Center for many years before moving to California. She has launched Menu Allergenie, which helps restaurants cater to the more than 15 million Americans with food allergies and the millions more with food sensitivities. Menu Allergenie “makes eating out with food allergies simpler,” she writes. “It is a cloud-based program that allows customers with food allergies to instantly see what they can order at participating restaurants. The program even alerts the customer to cases of likely cross-contact.” Learn more at www.menuallergenie.com.
