Is this safe for this diet.
Check allergens and intolerances across 14 domains — per ingredient or for an entire ingredient list, with clear verdicts instead of raw data. Histamine, FODMAP and pancreas are independently modelled, including thresholds and safe serving sizes.
14 domains, one check.
One request checks an ingredient list across all domains — or exactly the ones you care about. Without an amount, it transparently assumes 100 g (amountAssumed = true).
The three highlighted domains are independently modelled — with their own rules, thresholds and serving sizes.
Histamine — with DAO effect.
- ·Histamine content per ingredient (high/moderate/low/none) incl. threshold grams: at the threshold amount, risk rises to high.
- ·DAO effect modelled: ingredients with strong DAO support lower the risk by one level.
- ·Histamine liberators are detected and escalate the assessment — suspected → at least moderate, confirmed → high.
- ·Fermented or aged? Both escalate one level — and the response flags it separately (containsFermented, containsAged).
FODMAP — with safe servings.
- ·FODMAP level per ingredient (none–high) plus groups: oligo-, di-, monosaccharides and polyols.
- ·Safe serving sizes in grams: only at the threshold amount does the assessment tip to high.
- ·Group logic: 2+ FODMAP groups → at least moderate, 3+ → high — and several moderate ingredients escalate the overall verdict.
- ·Unknown is never harmless: unknown is conservatively treated as at least moderate.
Pancreas — its own domain.
- ·Assesses fat and fiber load, fried/greasy preparation and alcohol — with a safe serving size per ingredient.
- ·For apps around pancreas-friendly diets — as an independent risk dimension (low/moderate/high/unknown).
Diet check.
Checks an ingredient list against four diets and names violations per ingredient including the source — not just yes/no.
Clear verdicts, not raw data.
Every domain returns a verdict plus a risk level. Your app doesn't interpret thresholds — it displays the verdict.
uncertain is an honest result: when the data isn't sufficient, we say so — instead of guessing.
