Dining Out with SCID: Navigating Menus Safely

Dining out with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) requires extra vigilance, as certain foods pose serious infection risks. Immune-restricted diets typically exclude raw or undercooked proteins, unpasteurized products, raw sprouts, and other items that may carry harmful bacteria. This can make restaurant menus feel like minefields, especially when ingredients are unclear or translated poorly. mm food transforms this experience by harmonizing safety and simplicity.

Your SCID Safety Toolkit

1. Custom Dietary Shield: Set precise filters (e.g., "no raw fish," "pasteurized dairy only") in the app. Our AI cross-references every menu item against your restrictions.
2. Instant Menu Translation: Scan or upload any menu—our in-app translation converts foreign text to your native tongue while preserving critical culinary context for accurate analysis.
3. Real-Time Safety Analysis: AI flags risky items (like steak tartare or unpasteurized cheese boards) and highlights safe dishes based on preparation methods and ingredients.
4. Ask Smartly: Generate server-ready questions like, "Is the mayonnaise made with pasteurized eggs?" using our chat feature to clarify ambiguities.

Pro Tips for Confident Dining

• Prioritize Fully Cooked: Opt for dishes like grilled chicken or steamed vegetables.
• Avoid Buffets: Cross-contamination risks are high; à la carte is safer.
• Verify Prep Surfaces: Politely confirm that raw meats won’t share surfaces with your meal.

With mm food, SCID-friendly dining becomes less about restrictions and more about discovering delicious, worry-free options. Reclaim the joy of eating out—safely.
