The Hidden Challenge: Detecting Trace Pea Protein in Vegan Dining

Vegan eateries promise plant-based purity, but for those with pea allergies or specific dietary needs, hidden threats lurk in seemingly safe dishes. Pea protein powder has become a staple in vegan cuisine—a nutrient-packed addition to burgers, shakes, and meat substitutes. Yet its ubiquity increases risks: cross-contamination in kitchens, unlisted ingredients, or evolving recipes can expose diners to harmful trace amounts without warning.

Imagine ordering a jackfruit taco, unaware the tortilla contains trace pea flour. Or savoring a smoothie, only to face an allergic reaction because batch ingredients changed subtly. For allergy sufferers, vegans avoiding legumes, or low-FODMAP dieters, these hidden traces aren't mere inconveniences—they’re serious health hazards.

This is where mm food transforms safety. Our AI-powered scanner deciphers menus in real time, whether in Japanese, Italian, or 20+ languages. Input your dietary profile (like "pea protein allergy" or "strict legume-free"), and we cross-analyze dish descriptions down to preparation notes. We flag risks like:

• Shared fryers where pea-battered items contaminate fries
• Broths or sauces thickened with undisclosed pea protein
• Supplier changes that introduce trace elements

Instead of interrogating staff or guessing, you’ll see clear warnings:
🟢 Safe to eat: Grilled vegetable skewers (no legumes used)
🔴 Avoid: Mushroom burger (binder contains pea isolate)

Dine confidently at vegan hotspots, street-food stalls, or fine dining—mm food turns menu uncertainty into empowered choices. Your safety isn’t left to chance; it’s built into every scan.
