Menu Decoder refuses to call your dinner “safe”
An allergy-aware menu tool that reads photos, pasted text, or menu links, marks common allergens, and translates questions for the kitchen.
Field notes
The tool accepts four kinds of menu input: a camera photo, an uploaded image, pasted text, or a URL, including QR-code menus. Its output separates typical ingredients from common-allergen markers and can generate questions based on a diner's selected allergen types in the kitchen's language. When it lacks information, the interface displays that absence directly rather than leaving a blank that could resemble reassurance. Diet matching covers programs such as keto, Mediterranean, DASH, paleo, and Whole30, but cannot override a safety flag.
