Dietary Preferences & Ingredients You Can Avoid With Pantrimo

Pantrimo tracks 14 major allergens across the FDA Big 9 (plus sesame) and EU/UK Annex II list. Set ingredient avoidance per family member and get meal plans that respect everyone's needs.

Currently Supported Constraints

Pantrimo distinguishes between safety constraints that block incompatible recipes entirely, and preferences that rank compatible meals higher without blocking anything.

Gluten-Free

Safety constraint

Blocks recipes containing wheat, barley, rye, and other gluten-containing grains. Applied per family member.

Dairy-Free

Safety constraint

Blocks recipes containing milk, cheese, butter, cream, and other dairy ingredients. Applied per family member.

Peanut & Tree-Nut-Free

Safety constraint

Blocks recipes containing peanuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts, and other tree nuts. Applied per family member.

Vegetarian

Preference

Ranks vegetarian-compatible recipes higher. Does not block non-vegetarian recipes for other household members.

How Pantrimo Handles Conflicting Diets

In mixed-diet households, constraints from different family members can overlap or conflict. Here is how Pantrimo resolves them.

Vegetarian + Dairy-Free in the same household

If one family member is vegetarian (preference) and another is dairy-free (safety), Pantrimo first removes all recipes containing dairy (safety takes priority), then ranks the remaining recipes so vegetarian-friendly options appear first. Everyone gets meals they can eat, and the planner sees the best options at the top.

Gluten-Free + Nut-Free in the same household

When two family members have different safety constraints, both are enforced. Recipes must be free of gluten-containing ingredients AND free of nuts. This narrows the recipe pool but ensures every meal is compatible with everyone at the table.

Safety always overrides preference

Safety constraints (like gluten-free or nut-free) always block incompatible recipes. Preferences (like vegetarian) only affect ranking, never blocking. This means a recipe that works for all safety constraints will always be available, even if it does not perfectly match every preference.
