The Hidden Challenge: Navigating Pea Protein in Vegan Cafes
Vegan cafes promise inclusive dining, but many diners face an unexpected hurdle: undetected pea protein. As plant-based meals surge in popularity, this potent allergen hides in sauces, mock meats, and baked goods—often missing from menu descriptions. For those avoiding legumes, accidental exposure risks serious discomfort or allergic reactions.
Why Pea Protein Is a Hidden Hazard
- Stealth Ingredient: Blended into smoothies, burger patties, or protein bowls without explicit labeling.
- Cross-Reactivity Risk: Pea protein shares allergenic traits with peanuts and lentils.
- Menu Ambiguity: Terms like "plant protein" or "vegan blend" rarely specify pea content.

Our app transforms safety for sensitive diners:
- Set Your Alerts: Add "pea protein" to custom dietary restrictions (or select pre-set options like legume-free).
- Scan & Analyze: AI cross-references menu items, including unclear descriptions (e.g., "house-made veggie patty"), to flag hidden risks.
