Hidden Allergen Food Names
Hidden allergen food names—whey, casein, surimi, marzipan—hide triggers in ingredient lists until you learn alias dictionaries per allergen.
Hidden allergen food names are ingredient aliases that do not sound like the allergen—whey and casein for milk, lecithin sources for soy, surimi for fish, marzipan for tree nuts. Sauces, marinades, and natural flavors are frequent traps.

Common questions
-
Is natural flavor always safe to ignore?
No—natural flavors can include allergen sources not spelled out. Call the manufacturer when flavors appear on high-risk products and your plan requires certainty.
