Ingredo.app for milk allergy
Turn on Milk and Ingredo.app hard-blocks every declared source on any food you scan, citing the source behind each flag. Because we cannot detect trace amounts or cross-contamination, the physical label stays authoritative.
Allergen profiles are a hard block, not a soft caution — a declared source turns the verdict to "avoid" outright, rather than nudging the score.
Where an ingredient cannot be verified, the result degrades to "couldn’t verify — check the label". A safety flag never silently becomes a pass.
What Ingredo.app flags for milk allergy

Check the label
- Ingredients of uncertain origin — flagged rather than passed
- "May contain" cross-contamination warnings — always verify on the physical label
Good match

Where it hides
Where milk protein most often turns up unexpectedly.
Casein and caseinate in "dairy-free" coffee whiteners and processed foods
Whey in crisps, crackers and chocolate
Lactose-free milk — the lactose is removed, the protein is not
Common questions
No, and the difference matters. Lactose intolerance is a digestive problem with milk sugar; milk allergy is an immune reaction to milk protein and can be severe. Lactose-free products still contain milk protein.
Milk allergy has no dedicated profile yet. Add "Milk" from the allergen list in Settings — it is matched against the product’s declared allergens and hard-blocks any match.
