Navigating Caribbean Menus: A Mango Allergy Survival Guide with MM Food

Traveling to the Caribbean promises vibrant flavors, but for those with a mango allergy, dining out can feel like navigating a culinary minefield. From savory chutneys to refreshing tropical drinks, mango appears in countless Caribbean dishes—often in unexpected ways. Here’s how MM Food’s innovative technology helps you savor the islands safely.

Why Mango Allergies Matter in Caribbean Cuisine

Mango is a staple in Caribbean cooking, adding sweetness to jerk sauces, salsas, and even marinades. For allergy sufferers, cross-contact risks are high in kitchens where mango is frequently prepped alongside other ingredients. Common triggers include:

• Fresh mango slices in salads or garnishes
• Mango-based sauces (e.g., tamarind-mango dips)
• Desserts like sorbets or rum cakes
