Mustard Allergy Alert: Your Guide to Safe Dining in Germany

Germany's culinary landscape—think sizzling Bratwurst, tangy potato salad, and hearty Pretzels—is a dream for food lovers. But for mustard allergy sufferers, hidden Senf (mustard) in sauces, marinades, and sausages poses a serious risk. Navigating German menus requires more than just translation; it demands allergy-aware precision. Enter the mm food app, designed to protect diners while expanding their culinary horizons.

Why Mustard Is a Stealthy Threat in German Cuisine

Mustard isn't just a condiment here; it's woven into recipes:

  • Sausages: Often pre-brined or served with mustard-based dips
  • Salads: Creamy dressings like in Kartoffelsalat (potato salad)
  • Marinades: For meats like Sauerbraten
  • Unexpected dishes: Soups, bread doughs, and and even some mustards!* *Cross-contamination is common in kitchens where mustard is ubiquitous.
