Hidden Gluten in Korean Sauces: How AI Keeps Your Meals Safe

Korean cuisine is beloved worldwide, but navigating menus safely can be a minefield for gluten-sensitive diners. Many traditional sauces—like soy sauce, gochujang (chili paste), and doenjang (fermented bean paste)—often contain hidden gluten due to wheat-based fermentation processes. Even dishes labeled as 'gluten-free' may harbor risks if sauces aren’t properly vetted.

With the mm food app, diners can now confidently explore Korean food. Our AI scans menus in real time, translating ingredients and cross-referencing them with your dietary needs. For example, when you select 'gluten-free' restrictions, the app flags dishes containing problematic sauces like ganjang (soy sauce) or identifies safer alternatives like tamari-based substitutes.

Common Korean Sauces with Hidden Gluten

• Ganjang (Soy Sauce): Typically brewed with wheat.
• Gochujang: May include wheat as a thickening agent.
• Dwenjang: Often contains wheat or barley.
• Pre-marinated Meats: Sauces may hide soy or malt vinegar.
