Navigating PKU Dining in the Balkans: Your Essential Guide with mm food

Traveling or dining out with phenylketonuria (PKU) in the Balkan region can be challenging due to language barriers and limited awareness of metabolic dietary needs. Traditional dishes like ćevapi, burek, and sarma often contain hidden protein sources or aspartame, making menu navigation stressful. mm food’s innovative technology turns this challenge into a seamless experience.

How mm food Simplifies PKU Dining

2. AI-Powered PKU Filter Input your protein limits or specific restrictions, and the app highlights safe options. It flags hidden phenylalanine sources like meat broths, soy-based sauces, or artificial sweeteners in desserts.
3. Customizable Alerts Set preferences for lactose, gluten, or other common PKU diet co-concerns. Receive real-time warnings if a dish contains unsafe additives.
4. Localized Restaurant Tips Discover Balkan eateries with naturally low-protein options, such as grilled vegetable platters, fresh salads, or fruit-based desserts. The app suggests modifications like swapping cheese-filled pastry for plain dough.
