How To View Menus

1. Check Category Title: each menu is split into categories (such as Breakfast, Lunch, Coffee, Dessert etc). You can click to show/hide individual categories.

2. View Menu Items: Each menu item will have ingredients broken down into easy to view parts. These are then colour coded to let you know if they are suitable:

   • Red: Not suitable, based on your allergy profile, where you have marked ingredients/allergy groups as severe.
   • Amber: Might be suitable/discretion required. Again, based on your allergy profile and the ingredients/groups selected as moderate.
   • Green: Mealeez could not detect unsafe ingredients. This should be safe, but care should still be taken and ingredients should be confirmed when ordering.

3. View Ingredients (subscription required): Tapping on any part of a menu item will show you its full ingredient list, highlighting sever/moderate allergens based on your allergy profile.

4. Filter Items (subscription required): Tapping this option will filter through all menu items and display only those that have been marked as safe or moderately safe, hiding any menu item with ingredients you have marked as severe. This allows you to very quickly see what you can have when dining out or ordering from that restaurant.
