Frequently Asked Questions

Which dishes may contain cod proteins?
Proteins from cod and other white fish appear not only in fillets but also in fish broths, fish sauce, surimi, and certain collagen supplements.
What is a hen's egg white and yolk allergy?
An egg allergy stems from hypersensitivity to proteins such as ovomucoid or ovalbumin. In our egg-free Diets Premium meal plans, we use trusted culinary substitutes to ensure the perfect texture in baked goods and dishes.
Why is sesame an important food allergen?
Sesame seeds, tahini paste, and sesame oil contain oleosin proteins capable of triggering strong allergic reactions, which is why sesame is subject to mandatory labeling in the European Union (Regulation 1169/2011).
How does a walnut allergy manifest?
Walnuts are among the most common tree nut allergens in Europe and can cause both oral allergy syndrome (OAS) and systemic reactions.
Which foods are included in a tree nut allergy?
A tree nut allergy covers walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, pistachios, pecans, and macadamia nuts, among others. The Diets Premium filter allows you to exclude the entire nut family or just specific varieties.
What should you look out for with a crab allergy?
Individuals allergic to crabs should watch out not only for seafood dishes but also for Asian seasoning pastes, broths, and glucosamine supplements sourced from crustacean shells.
Do scallops belong to the mollusk family?
Yes, scallops are mollusks and can trigger allergic reactions both on their own and via cross-reactivity with other seafood.
Can almonds trigger allergic reactions?
Yes, almonds, almond flour, marzipan, and almond beverages contain storage proteins that can trigger allergic symptoms in sensitive individuals.
What is tomato and nightshade vegetable hypersensitivity?
Tomatoes contain both allergenic profilins (often lessening after cooking) and natural histamine, so in Diets Premium you can easily exclude raw tomatoes or replace them with other vegetables.
What is a clam and mollusk allergy?
Mollusks (clams, oysters, mussels, squid, octopus) form a distinct allergen category on the EU labeling list and require strict avoidance for sensitive individuals.
