An allergy list is not a test

Saving an allergy in the app hides foods. It does not test your child, and it does not prove a food is safe.

Rice and banana in a small white bowl.
Meal photos are generated pictures of everyday plates, not photos from a family’s kitchen.

Dinner is not a test

If you think a new reaction happened, stop that food and talk to your child’s doctor. Do not use dinner to check.

A tiny bite “to see” is still an exposure. Skip it.

What the list does

It keeps cheese and yogurt off when milk is saved. It keeps egg off when egg is saved. It keeps bread, pasta, and oats off when wheat is saved.

Foods with no tag are not a promise. Labels and cross-contact still matter.

Ordinary days

On an ordinary day, serve a food they already eat and leave the saved allergies off the plate. That is the whole use of the list at dinner.

Worry about a reaction belongs with your child’s doctor, not with another try.

A sentence you can say

“We don’t test food at dinner.”
