Dine Safely Anywhere: Your Guide to Ultra-Orthodox Kosher Dining Abroad

Traveling as an Ultra-Orthodox Jew brings unique challenges, especially regarding kashrut compliance abroad. Navigating foreign menus, language barriers, and unfamiliar kitchens can turn dining into a stressful gamble. Without reliable kosher certification or understanding ingredient origins, maintaining strict dietary laws feels impossible.

Enter MM Food: the revolutionary app designed to safeguard your kosher observance anywhere. Here’s how it transforms travel dining:

  1. Instant Menu Translation Snap a photo of any menu, and MM Food instantly translates every dish into your native language. No more guessing what "crevettes" or "lardon" mean—clear descriptions appear instantly.
  2. Kosher Compliance AI Set your profile to "Ultra-Orthodox Kosher" or customize restrictions (e.g., no bishul akum, specific hechsher requirements). Our AI scans dishes for:
    • Non-kosher ingredients (traif meat, shellfish, dairy-meat mixtures)
    • Cross-contamination risks
    • Uncertified additives
    • Cooking methods violating halacha
  3. Safe Dish Recommendations The app flags compliant options in green and highlights forbidden items in red. It even suggests modifications: "Ask if eggs are cracked by hand" or "Confirm fish has kosher scales."
  4. Certification Cross-Check While not a replacement for mashgiach supervision, MM Food identifies if a restaurant claims kosher certification and helps verify its legitimacy.

Real-World Use Case

Rabbi Levy used MM Food in Tokyo. The app translated a Japanese menu, alerted him to dashi (fish stock) in seemingly veg dishes, and confirmed one restaurant’s kosher credential with Osaka’s Orthodox community.

Travel with confidence. MM Food ensures every bite aligns with your standards—because kashrut shouldn’t end at your doorstep.
