Ingredo.app for nut allergy
Yes — turn on the Nut allergy profile and Ingredo.app hard-blocks peanuts and tree nuts on every food you scan, citing the allergen source behind each flag. Because we cannot detect trace amounts or cross-contamination, the physical label — especially the "may contain" line — stays authoritative.
Nut allergies can be severe, so this profile hard-blocks any declared peanut or tree nut ingredient rather than treating it as a soft caution.
"May contain nuts" cross-contamination warnings are not something we can verify from ingredient data alone — always read the label for those.
