Savor Spain Safely: Your Top-8 Allergen Dining Guide

Navigating restaurants in Spain with Top-8 food allergies (milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, wheat) can feel overwhelming. Spanish cuisine uses many common allergens like olive-oil fried fish, almond-based sauces, and wheat-infused dishes. Language barriers increase risks – terms like "frutos secos" (nuts) or "mariscos" (shellfish) might be missed in translations, leaving diners vulnerable.

When you scan or upload a Spanish menu, it instantly translates ingredients into your native language. More importantly, mm food’s AI cross-checks dishes against your specific dietary profile, highlighting safe options and flagging hidden dangers like dairy in Iberian ham marinades or nut-thickened salmorejo.
