Obiettivo 17 million Europeans suffer from a food allergy, particularly children under 5 years old 1 . This is agrowing public health concern, as the hospital admissions for severe allergic reactions in childrenincreased 7 fold in the last 10 years 2 . 7 out of 10 allergic reactions occur when people eat outside fromtheir homes, including 20% of these happening in schools 3 . The European Food Information Councilhas replaced 7 and amended 2 directives on nutrition, food safety and allergen labelling. As a result, itis no longer possible for hotels, restaurants and caterings to provide information on dishes causingallergies or intolerances only and simply upon request by the consumer. The information on 14allergens must be provided in written form. The main challenges faced by companies providing guest-friendly, multilingual and legally compliant food and beverage menus are the lack of (1) time, (2)resources and (3) technical expertise.Menutech is a Software as a service (SaaS) which automates the preparation of food menus: itautomates allergen declaration, menu translation and menu design leveraging machine learningtechnologies powered by a rich database of dishes.
