Why Nigerian food needs its own guide

Most allergy advice is written around packaged food and Western menus. Nigerian cooking leans on ground seasonings, shared frying oil, street vendors and recipes that vary house to house. Crayfish goes into the soup base, yaji goes onto the suya, and an egg may be folded into moi moi without anyone mentioning it. None of that is on a label.

The habit that works is the same in every case: say it is an allergy, ask what is in the seasoning and the oil, and check how the food is cooked and served.

Use it with Fuuud

Fuuud remembers your allergies and conditions once, in a record you own, and checks each meal against them. You do not repeat yourself and you do not rely on remembering to ask. See how the record is kept private, or connect it to your AI app.
