Pea Protein Allergy Safety Guide for Vegan Café Dining

Vegan cafés are soaring in popularity, offering innovative plant-based dishes that often rely on pea protein as a meat substitute in burgers, shakes, and protein bowls. For diners with pea protein allergies, however, these menus can pose hidden risks. Pea protein is surprisingly common in vegan cuisine, appearing in dishes labeled as "plant protein" or "vegan meat," and may not be clearly identified on menus.

Managing this allergy requires extra vigilance. Symptoms can range from hives and digestive issues to life-threatening anaphylaxis, making accurate ingredient identification essential. Unfortunately, language barriers, vague menu descriptions, or kitchen cross-contact can increase risks for diners abroad or at multicultural establishments.

This is where the mm food app becomes invaluable:

• Allergy-Scan Technology: Input your pea protein allergy in the dietary restrictions profile (select from pre-set allergens or add a custom restriction). Our AI scans menu items, flagging dishes containing pea protein, pea flour, or hydrolyzed pea protein.
• Menu Translation: Instantly translate foreign-language menus while preserving allergy warnings. The app highlights safe options and cautions about potential cross-contact risks.
• Smart Recommendations: Get personalized suggestions based on your profile. For example, tofu-based dishes, vegetable stir-fries without mock meats, or grain bowls clearly marked allergen-free.

Pro Tips for Safe Dining:

1. Always update your mm food dietary profile before dining
2. Double-check with café staff after app scanning
3. Avoid fried foods where pea-protein items share fryers
4. Carry emergency medication regardless of app results

With mm food, pea protein allergy management transforms from stressful guessing to confident, informed choices—empowering you to savor diverse global vegan cuisine without compromise.
