Notes

categoria: Cereali e amidi | Rischio di glutine residuo variabile: lo sciroppo di riso tradizionale è spesso prodotto con enzimi da malto d'orzo (fonte di glutine), mentre versioni moderne usano enzimi fungini/batterici privi di glutine — Puangwerakul Y, Soithongsuk S, Wongwailikhit K. Gluten-Free Rice Malt Extract Powder: Pilot-Scale Production, Characterization, and Food Applications. Molecules. 2025;30(21):4279. doi:10.3390/molecules30214279.

You can declare, in free text, the substances you're allergic or intolerant to: an AI interprets them and the app tries to exclude them from scanner results, recipes, and products. This is a best-effort aid to reduce risk, not a safety guarantee: the underlying ingredient and product data isn't clinically validated allergen by allergen, and your declaration may be interpreted inaccurately.
