Dining in Europe with a Mustard Allergy: Your Essential Survival Guide

Traveling through Europe promises culinary adventures, but for those with a mustard allergy, hidden dangers lurk in beloved dishes. Mustard seeds, powders, oils, and sauces are pervasive across European kitchens – from French Dijon dressings and British piccalilli to German sausages with mustard crusts, Polish deli meats, and Mediterranean marinades. Cross-contamination risks are high, and non-native speakers often struggle to decipher menus or explain their allergy clearly.

The European Mustard Challenge: Restaurant menus rarely highlight mustard as an allergen, and language barriers can make communicating your needs stressful. Guessing ingredients in complex sauces, dressings, or spice blends is risky. Even "safe" foods like roasted meats or salads might be prepared with mustard-infused oils or glazes.

How the mm food App Makes Dining Safer:

1. Real-Time Menu Translation: Instantly scan any European menu. mm food translates it to your language, revealing ingredients that might otherwise be lost in translation.
2. Smart Allergy Filter: Set "mustard" as a dietary restriction (choose from pre-set allergens or add a custom one). Our AI scrutinizes every dish description, flagging items containing mustard seed, powder, oil, or derived sauces.
3. Personalized Safe Suggestions: Receive clear recommendations for dishes verified as mustard-free, allowing you to order confidently.

• Use mm food to create a digital "allergy card" in the local language to show waitstaff.
