Maybe food allergies have made you into the cook you never aspired to be. Or maybe food allergies have inspired you to greater culinary heights than ever before.

Whatever your situation, with the Allergy Force app’s Recipe Search feature it's easy to find recipes that will make it easier to get creative in the kitchen. With a couple taps on your phone, you can find, save, and share recipes that work for your family's dietary restrictions.

The app’s Recipe Search only screens for the US Top 9 Allergens — Eggs, Fish, Milk, Peanuts, Sesame, Shellfish, Soy, Tree Nuts and Wheat — PLUS Mustard and Gluten. If you manage less common allergens, some of the recipes returned from your searches may include them and you will need to adapt them for your dietary needs.

Recipe Search is a Premium feature, and you can try Premium access out with no commitment during a 14-day free trial.
