Navigating Indonesian Cuisine with a Lupin Allergy

Indonesian cuisine bursts with vibrant flavors, aromatic spices, and diverse ingredients. Yet, for those with a lupin allergy, hidden dangers like lupin flour or beans in traditional dishes can turn dining into a stressful experience. Lupin, sometimes used in gluten-free alternatives or as a protein booster, appears unexpectedly in items like kue (traditional cakes), processed snacks, or soups. Miscommunication due to language barriers further complicates safe ordering.

Thankfully, mm food transforms how lupin-allergic travelers and locals enjoy Indonesia’s culinary wonders safely. Here’s how:

2. Smart Allergy Alerts: Enter "lupin allergy" (or select it from our pre-defined list) before scanning. The app scans menu descriptions and flags unsafe items while suggesting safe alternatives.
3. Customizable Filters: Add unique restrictions beyond lupin (e.g., peanuts, shellfish) for personalized safety checks.
4. Dining Confidence: Receive dish recommendations guaranteed to align with your dietary needs—no more guesswork.

Safety Tips Beyond the App
