Nima Labs is a San Francisco, California–based company in the computers and electronics manufacturing sector that develops consumer devices to reveal what is in food. Its flagship Nima Sensor is a portable tester that determines the presence of gluten or peanuts in minutes and connects with a mobile app to share results. The product is aimed at individuals with food allergies or sensitivities, offering at-table testing to reduce uncertainty about meals; it is sold online, including on Amazon. The founders, who met at MIT, started the company to address eating-related anxiety and to empower consumers to detect hidden ingredients. The project has ties to MIT researchers and has received support from the National Institutes of Health. In 2020, Nima was acquired by a medical device company, and its products continued to be available via Amazon, with an accompanying iOS/Android app for sharing results.
