Navigating Arctic Seafood Safely with Alpha-Gal Syndrome

Dining in the Arctic offers incredible seafood delicacies—but for travelers with Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS), hidden dangers lurk in sauces, broths, and preparation methods. As someone avoiding all mammalian byproducts, decoding menus in remote fjords or coastal towns can feel impossible. The mm food app transforms this challenge into confident culinary exploration.

Why Arctic Dining Poses Unique Alpha-Gal Risks

Arctic cuisine often mixes seafood with traditional ingredients like:

• Reindeer broth in fish stews
• Butter-based sauces for crab or scallops
• Whale/krill blends posing cross-contamination risks
• Smoked salmon glazed with dairy honey marinades Language barriers add complexity, as eco-lodge staff may not grasp AGS nuances like gelatin in sauces or lard in fryers.
