Egg allergy means egg stays off

Egg as a food, and egg inside a pancake or a bake, stays off when egg is an allergy. Read the plate, not just the menu name.

The name is not the ingredient list

This page cannot tell you a food is safe. When you are unsure, leave it off and check the label or ask your child’s doctor.

A pancake, a noodle, a bake, and a sauce can all be egg. “Breakfast” is not a safe word.

Diet and allergy together

Vegetarian already leaves egg off. An egg allergy leaves it off even on a diet that otherwise includes egg.

The app says so in one line when both are true, and it will not keep egg selected.

What stays on the plate

A food they already eat that is free of egg. Rice, fruit, potato, beans, or meat only if the diet includes meat.

Do not use a bite of cake to test the allergy.

A sentence you can say

“No egg, including in the pancake.”
