Dining out with a food allergy shouldn't mean a guessing game. MenuSafe helps you instantly identify dishes that match your allergy profile so you can order with confidence. BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO LIVES IT MenuSafe was created by a founder who developed food allergies later in life and experienced firsthand how stressful dining out can become. The goal was simple: create a tool that helps people spend less time worrying about ingredients and more time enjoying meals with family and friends. HOW IT WORKS Snap a picture or upload one from your phone. No restaurant partnership or pre-loaded data required. MenuSafe reads every dish on the page, cross-references it against your allergy profile, and returns a clear result in seconds: • Safe: no detected allergens for anyone selected • Modify: contains an allergen, with a specific suggested modification • Avoid: contains an allergen with no reasonable substitution • Unverified: not enough information to be confident; ask your server Every result shows exactly which ingredient triggered the flag, and whether it came directly from the menu's own description or was inferred from how the dish is typically prepared, so you always know the confidence level. Tap any result for the full ingredient breakdown and reasoning behind the call. MENUSAFE GOES BEYOND THE FDA’s TOP 9 ALLERGENS Most allergy apps stop at the FDA's top 9. MenuSafe covers rare sensitivities, spanning animal products, grains, legumes, tree nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables, fungi, and additives. That means real coverage for sulfites, mustard, lupin, celery, stone fruits, nightshades, and dozens of others most apps never touch. BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES, NOT JUST ONE PERSON Create a profile for everyone you regularly eat with: a partner, your kids, anyone with their own allergies and severities. Before you scan, just select who's eating tonight. MenuSafe checks the whole menu against everyone at once and shows exactly who's affected by what. No more cross-referencing three different needs in your head while a server waits at the table. YOUR DINING HISTORY, SAVED Every scan is saved automatically: restaurant, date, who was eating, and the full results. Revisit a restaurant and pull up last time's scan instantly, or rescan the same menu against a different combination of people using the saved menu images. Tag the restaurant once with GPS or a quick search, and it's there next time you're back. BEFORE YOU ORDER MenuSafe is designed to support dining decisions but should not replace direct communication with restaurant staff. Always verify ingredients and preparation methods when managing food allergies. Download MenuSafe and take the guesswork out of your next meal out.
