Hidden Allergens in Restaurants
You know that moment when you ask a server about a menu item to see if it is safe and find out it contains one of your allergens? You move on to another item to order and likely forget about that first dish. There is a whole world of dishes passed over due to a hidden allergen and we’re on a mission to capture them and help to hopefully spare the next person who might forget to mention, have a server who doesn’t know, etc. From its early days, the Spokin app has had a Hidden Allergen feature that allows you to share items like a bread that contains walnuts or a chimichurri sauce that contains pistachios, to help keep the food allergy community safe. Today we are publishing the first-of-its-kind guide, featuring over 400 Spokin app-reported hidden allergens in restaurants covering 41 states and 19 countries. If you find one, please share and before you dine out, please check the Spokin app!

Our criteria for being included in the guide was that each mochi had to be free of at least 1 of the top 9 allergens and either not have a warning label or, if it had a warning label, the warning label needed to not include at least 1 of the allergens the product’s ingredients were free of. In other words, there was at least 1 allergy the product was free of that there was not a warning for.
