Unmasking Lupin: The Hidden Allergen in European Bakeries

Imagine savoring a flaky pastry in a Parisian boulangerie, only to face an unexpected allergic reaction. The culprit? Lupin flour—a common yet often overlooked allergen lurking in European baked goods. While lupin offers high-protein, gluten-free benefits, it's a major trigger for allergies in the EU, where labeling can be inconsistent and language barriers obscure risks. Symptoms range from mild itching to life-threatening anaphylaxis, making vigilance non-negotiable for travelers.

This hidden danger is why mm food was created. Our app acts as your allergy shield abroad:
