Navigating Caribbean Festivals Corn-Free with Confidence

Caribbean festivals are a vibrant celebration of culture, music, and—most importantly—food. But for diners with corn allergies or sensitivities, navigating traditional dishes can be a challenge. Hidden ingredients like cornstarch, cornmeal, or corn-derived additives often lurk in sauces, batters, and seasonings. With the mm food app, you can indulge safely by translating menus and identifying corn-free options instantly.

Why Corn-Free Matters From Jamaican festival dumplings to Trinidadian corn soup, corn is a staple in many Caribbean dishes. Even seemingly safe options might contain corn-based thickeners or oils. The mm food app lets you:

• Scan or upload festival menus for real-time translation to your native language.
• Set 'corn-free' as a dietary restriction to see AI-powered safety alerts for each dish.
• Discover safe alternatives like coconut-based curries, grilled meats with herb marinades, or cassava-based sides.

Tips for Festival Success

1. Ask vendors about fryer oil (many use corn oil)—check via the app’s pre-loaded questions.
2. Focus on whole foods: Fresh seafood, grilled chicken, or plantains are often corn-free.
3. Use the app’s camera tool to scan ingredient lists on packaged snacks sold at stalls.

With mm food, savor jerk spices, tropical fruits, and island-inspired dishes without hesitation. Celebrate Caribbean culture safely, one corn-free bite at a time!
