If your child has even one significant food allergy, every meal, scan, and grocery run is filtered through that fact. Miriel takes that filter and applies it for you — across every recommendation, every package scanned, and every coach answer.
The problem nobody else solves
Most nutrition apps treat allergens as a filter you set once and squint at later. Cross-contamination warnings are not surfaced. Substitutions are not auto-applied. Recipe collections include allergen-containing recipes you have to manually exclude every time.
Miriel treats allergens as a first-class fact about each child. Every meal plan, every food-label scan, every AI coach answer respects them automatically. Allergen logic is never silently overridden by preference or convenience.
How Miriel helps
Multiple allergies, no priority order
You can add as many allergens, intolerances, and sensitivities as your child has. None are dropped, none are de-prioritised, none are silently relaxed because they make the plan inconvenient.
Food scan with allergen-aware reading
Point the camera at any packaged food. Miriel reads the ingredient list and surfaces allergens specific to your child's profile — including the may-contain and cross-contamination warnings that hide in tiny print.
Substitutions built in
When a recipe or plan would normally use a trigger food, Miriel substitutes automatically — not by deletion, but by a sensible alternative that maintains the nutritional and culinary role of the original.
IgE vs non-IgE awareness
Miriel respects the difference between an IgE-mediated allergy (anaphylaxis risk) and a non-IgE reaction (FPIES, FPIAP, delayed). Severity and trigger thresholds matter; we treat them differently.
What allergy families ask
Can Miriel handle multiple allergies at once?
Yes. There is no limit, and no allergy is honoured at the expense of another. Every food scan and meal plan respects every allergen on the profile simultaneously.
What about FPIES or CMPA?
Both are supported as first-class data on the child profile. Miriel respects them across scans and plans. As always, the diagnosis itself should come from a pediatric allergist or GI specialist.
Does Miriel warn about cross-contamination?
Cross-contamination and "may contain" warnings on packaged food are surfaced explicitly on scans for any allergen flagged on the child profile. Hidden allergens in fine print is one of the specific problems Miriel was built to solve.
Miriel's allergen logic aligns with current consensus on early introduction (LEAP, EAT, LEAP-On studies) and NIAID guidance on peanut introduction in high-risk infants. Once diagnosis is established, exclusion is strict. The full reference list is on the research page.
