Unlock the World: Your PKU Restaurant Survival Guide

Traveling with phenylketonuria (PKU) often feels like a culinary obstacle course. Language barriers and murky ingredient lists transform dining out from joy to anxiety. But discovering new cultures doesn't need to mean compromising your diet. With the right tools and strategies, global flavors can be savored safely. Here's your blueprint for confident PKU dining in any restaurant worldwide.

Why Dining Abroad with PKU Feels Overwhelming

• Lost in Translation: Foreign menus often lack detailed dish descriptions, making sleuthing virtually impossible without language skills.
• Hidden Dangers: Sauces, broths, and condiments frequently conceal phenylalanine sources like soy, nuts, or dairy.
• Local Unfamiliarity: Staff may not recognize "PKU" or understand how seemingly safe dishes could contain protein traps.

How the mm food App Revolutionizes Your Dining Experience

Streamline 2 Critical Steps:

1. Instant Menu Translation: Snap a photo of any menu. mm food translates it accurately into your native language, exposing hidden threats beyond the main ingredients.
2. PKU-Safe Scanning: Enter your specific dietary restrictions. Our AI cross-references every dish against PKU principles, flagging items with problematic proteins or additives—then highlights truly safe choices.

Your Step-by-Step Restaurant Strategy with mm food

1. Pre-Dining Recon: Scan the restaurant's online menu through mm food while planning. Save safe options instantly.
2. At the Table: Use live translation on their physical menu. Flag items with potential risks (Beware broths, dressings, "secret" sauces!).
3. Verification Mode: Share the app's analysis with your server. Show translated notes like: "I require meals with zero meat/fish/dairy/nuts/soy protein. Can this dish be prepared without sauces?"
4. Customize Confidently: Request alterations using clear, translated requests. mm food helps identify modifiable dishes—grilled proteins (if approved by your care team) steamed plainly, salads without cheese/nuts, fresh fruit.

Confirming Your Safety Net: Real-World Tips

• Prioritize Cuisines: Lean into naturally PKU-friendlier options like sushi (plain veggie rolls), Italian (oil/garlic pasta), or Mediterranean grilled vegetables.
• Carry Essentials: Pack emergency low-protein snacks and protein substitutes.
• Speak Prep: Learn key phrases like "no cheese," "no meat broth," or "only olive oil" in the local language.
