Pea Protein Allergy Safety in Vegan Cafés

The rise of plant-based dining has made vegan cafés culinary havens for health-conscious foodies. However, this shift poses unique challenges for those with pea protein allergies. As chefs increasingly use pea protein isolates in meat substitutes, cheeses, and protein shakes, hidden allergens can turn a vibrant meal into a health risk.

Vegan establishments often rely on pea protein for its impressive nutritional profile and versatility. Yet menu descriptions may use ambiguous terms like "plant protein" or "vegan protein blend" instead of clearly stating 'pea protein'—a dangerous ambiguity for allergy sufferers.

This is where mm food becomes your essential dining companion. Our AI-powered app scans any menu to:

1. Instantly flag pea protein-containing dishes using advanced ingredient analysis
2. Translate foreign-language menus while preserving allergen accuracy
3. Cross-reference your custom dietary profile against dish compositions

Proactive Steps for Safe Vegan Dining

• Alert staff immediately about your allergy – even in 100% plant-based venues
• Ask about shared fryers and prep surfaces used for pea-based products
• Watch for derivatives: hydrolyzed pea protein often appears in sauces and baked goods
• Scan beverages – protein shakes and plant milks are common hidden sources

With mm food, simply upload the menu or point your camera at it. Our technology detects pea protein in all its forms—from isolates to concentrates—and categorizes dishes with clear allergy icons. We even analyze locally-created specials not listed online.
