Common questions
Does AllergEats detect peanut oil in restaurant menus?
Yes. AllergEats flags refined peanut oil and peanut-derived oils mentioned in menu descriptions. Note: highly refined peanut oil is generally considered safe for most peanut-allergic individuals, but cold-pressed or expeller-pressed peanut oil is not — AllergEats flags both and recommends confirming with staff.
How does AllergEats handle ethnic cuisines with common peanut use?
AllergEats has specific detection for cuisines where peanuts appear frequently: Thai (peanut sauce, pad thai), Chinese (kung pao, gong bao), Indonesian (satay, gado-gado), and West African dishes. These items are flagged even when 'peanut' isn't explicitly in the item name.
Can I use AllergEats if my child has a severe peanut allergy?
Yes. Set your child's profile to include peanut allergy at anaphylactic severity, and AllergEats will escalate any 'ask staff' risk to 'avoid' for that allergen — the safest default for severe reactions.
