The Hidden Truth: How mm food's AI Reveals Unlisted Ingredients

Ever ordered a "simple salad" only to discover unexpected nuts, dairy, or gluten? Unlisted ingredients are a common dining hazard, especially for those with allergies, intolerances, or dietary preferences. Menus often omit critical details due to space limitations, vague descriptions, or kitchen shorthand. mm food transforms your safety with advanced AI-powered Menu Forensics.

Why Ingredients Go Unlisted

  • Space constraints: Key details get cut for brevity.
  • Assumed knowledge: Dishes like "vegetable soup" hide complex recipes.
  • Preparation secrets: Frying oils, sauces, or garnishes are rarely mentioned.
  • Cross-contamination risks: Shared equipment for allergens like nuts.

How Our AI Uncovers What’s Hidden

mm food’s technology scans menu items through multiple layers of intelligence:

  1. Global Recipe Database: Cross-references dishes with thousands of authentic recipes to flag typical ingredients.
  2. Linguistic Analysis: Detects implied components (e.g., "creamy" = dairy, "crispy" = potential gluten coating).
  3. Regional Context: Understands local culinary customs—soy sauce in Asian dishes, olive oil in Mediterranean meals.
  4. User History: Learns from your reports to refine future scans.

Real-World Example: The "Gluten-Free" Surprise

Consider a "Grilled Salmon Bowl" labeled gluten-free. Our AI might detect:

  • Soy-marinated fish (hidden wheat in soy sauce).
  • Cross-contact from shared fryers.
  • Thickened dressings with flour derivatives. Result: It warns you before you order.
