Thanks to everyone in the Bay Area who came to our pop-up event at Pica Pica Arepa Kitchen on Tuesday night! We had quite a crowd of folks eager to see Nima in action.

Pica Pica is a 100% gluten-free restaurant, and its ingredients are now Nima-verified. We do regular and random testing on their ingredients to ensure they meet the FDA guideline for gluten-free (less than 20 parts per million).

We also released some restaurant testing data that we've done in the San Francisco area. Once we start shipping the device, this data will live in the Nima app, where you can search for restaurants, upload your own test results and see results from other users in the community. The results below give you an idea of how these reports might inform your own future dining decisions.
We hope everyone had an enlightened and enjoyable time!
