Navigating Mexican Cuisine with EGID: How mmFood Ensures Safe Dining

Dining out with Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders (EGID) can feel overwhelming, especially in Mexican restaurants where ingredients like dairy, spices, and gluten are common. mmFood transforms this experience by empowering diners to confidently enjoy authentic flavors while prioritizing safety.

Common EGID Triggers in Mexican Dishes

Mexican cuisine often includes ingredients that may trigger EGID symptoms:

• Dairy: Cheese, crema, and queso fresco
• Gluten: Flour tortillas, sauces with thickeners
• Spices: Chili powders, adobo seasoning
• Legumes: Refried beans or black bean soups
• Additives: Preservatives in processed meats or salsas
