Milk allergy means cheese stays off

Cheese is a milk food. If milk is an allergy, cheese does not belong on the plate, in the snack, or as a sprinkle on pasta.

The same sentence everywhere

Tell grandparents and cafés the same sentence: no milk, so no cheese. Use a food they already eat in its place.

A sprinkle counts. A sauce counts. A “just the top” counts.

What the app does

The app will not keep cheese selected while milk is an allergy. Yogurt stays off too.

This page cannot tell you a restaurant dish is free of milk. If you cannot tell, skip it.

The food that replaces it

Fruit, rice, potato, beans, or another food they already accept can take the cheese spot. The plate still needs a yes.

Do not test cheese with a tiny bite. If you think there was a reaction, talk to your child’s doctor.

A sentence you can say

“No milk, so no cheese.”
