Sensitivity notes
Why dairy proteins food checker matters
Dairy proteins (casein and whey) can cause reactions in people with milk protein allergy or intolerance. This is different from lactose intolerance and can cause both digestive and systemic symptoms.
- Dairy protein allergy requires complete dairy avoidance
- Casein and whey are the main proteins to avoid
- 'Non-dairy' products may still contain casein
- Ghee may be tolerated as proteins are removed
- This is different from lactose intolerance - treatment differs

What to know about hemp oil
The most useful thing to say about hemp oil is what it is not. In a kitchen, hemp oil means oil pressed from hemp seed, a food ingredient with a clean trigger card: A for histamine, histamine liberation, tyramine, salicylates, oxalate, nickel, sulfites, glutamates, gluten and every FODMAP subgroup. On a shop shelf the same two words are often printed on CBD tinctures, which are cannabinoid extracts made from the flower and leaf and sold for entirely different reasons. They share a plant and almost nothing else. Culinary hemp oil is also not a nut or peanut allergen, which makes it a genuinely useful alternative for people navigating both nut avoidance and seed-oil questions, and its selling point nutritionally is a fatty-acid profile rich in alpha-linolenic acid, unusually so for a supermarket oil.
Watch for
- Hemp oil and CBD oil are different products sold under overlapping names.Culinary hemp seed oil is a pressed food oil with only trace cannabinoids; CBD products are labelled "hemp oil", "hemp extract" or "full spectrum" and carry an active dose. If you are logging a reaction, record which one you actually took
- It is not a tree nut or peanut allergen.Hemp seed allergy exists and has been documented, but it is uncommon, and hemp is not covered by the tree nut or peanut cross-reactivity people usually worry about
- Clean across the food-chemistry triggers, including A for histamine and histamine liberation, which is worth knowing because plenty of seed and nut products are not
- Graded C rather than A on the anti-inflammatory scale, a middling score rather than a bad one.That is a diet-pattern note, not a sensitivity trigger, and it does not change how the oil behaves for histamine, FODMAP or salicylate readers
- Food-grade hemp seed oil is not expected to affect a workplace drug test at normal culinary amounts, though very high intakes of poorly cleaned hemp seed products have historically produced trace positives
