Short answer

Can my AI check my recipes for allergens?

Yes. Your AI uses the Allergen Checker to scan ingredient lists for specific allergens and their derivatives. You'll get a breakdown of identified risks and safe components.

Safety outcomes.

Where your results land.

The AI processes the data and organizes the findings into these categories.

RISK

Detected allergens

The AI identifies direct matches for your specified allergens. You get a clear list of ingredients that pose a threat.

HIDDEN

Derivative warnings

The agent flags ingredients that contain traces or derivatives of allergens. This catches things like malt in flavoring or whey in stabilizers.

CLEAN

Safe ingredient lists

When no matches are found, the AI confirms the ingredient list is clear. You receive a clean report for your records.

HUMAN

Final verification

The AI provides the data, but you must perform the final check. You decide if the recipe is safe for service.

The workflow

What your AI does when the recipe arrives.

The AI performs a deep scan of the text to find what you're looking for.

  1. Ingredient parsing

    Your agent reads through the raw text of your recipe or ingredient list. It breaks down complex strings into individual components.

  2. Allergen matching

    The AI compares every ingredient against your list of restricted items. It looks for direct matches and common synonyms.

  3. Derivative detection

    The agent searches for hidden components like emulsifiers or additives that stem from allergens. It identifies these secondary risks.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my recipe ingredients?

    No. The AI only reads and analyzes the text you provide. It cannot modify your files or change your recipe data.

  • 02

    Does the AI guarantee the recipe is 100% safe?

    No. The AI identifies risks based on the text provided, but you must perform the final human verification for safety compliance.

  • 03

    Will it find allergens in a photo of a label?

    If your AI client has vision capabilities, it can read the text from the image and then use the Allergen Checker to scan it.

  • 04

    Can it detect cross-contamination risks?

    The AI scans the specific ingredients listed. It cannot account for physical cross-contamination in a kitchen or facility unless that info is in the text.

  • 05

    How does it find hidden allergens?

    It looks for derivatives and chemical names that are known to contain the allergen you specified.
