Allergy pages must be explicit

Ingredient lists should identify direct allergens, hidden sources, sauce risks, garnish risks, and cross-contact warnings for severe allergy users.

Substitution design

Good allergy-friendly recipes offer swaps for dairy, egg, nuts, soy, sesame, wheat, fish, and shellfish without breaking texture or flavor.

Safety language

FlavorLogic should avoid claiming safety for severe allergy users. It should guide review, label checks, and clinician advice where needed.

Chef tips to make it work

Taste should not disappear when a recipe becomes healthier. Use heat control, layered seasoning, texture contrast, correct doneness, and mistake recovery tips so the final dish feels intentional.

  • Fix too much salt by diluting with unsalted ingredients, expanding the batch, or balancing carefully with fat or acid where suitable.
  • Avoid burning aromatics by reducing heat before garlic, keeping liquid nearby, and stirring during high-heat stages.
  • Use doneness cues: rested steak, flaking fish, safe chicken, soft dal, separated rice grains, and crisp-tender vegetables.

FAQs

Can one recipe be allergy-friendly for everyone?

No. Allergy needs differ, so users need specific exclusions and clear cross-contact warnings.

Should severe allergy users rely only on recipe filters?

No. They should verify labels, preparation, and cross-contact risk.
