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 sparkling wine
Sparkling wine is the highest-sulfite drink most people put in a celebration glass. It grades high on sulfites (D), well above still reds on this chart, because pale, delicate base wines are the ones winemakers protect hardest with sulfur dioxide, and more goes in with the sweetening dosage added just before the cork. Everything else about it sits in moderate territory: histamine, tyramine, salicylates, oxalates and residual fructose are all graded C, not high. It is also graded poorly for SIBO and pro-inflammatory, which is the alcohol and the leftover sugar rather than anything unique to the bubbles. If a glass tightens your chest or blocks your nose within minutes, sulfites deserve the first look.
Watch for
- Graded high on sulfites (D).Sulfur dioxide goes in at pressing, again before bottling, and again in the dosage. Anything above 10 mg per litre has to be declared, which is why nearly every bottle says contains sulfites.
- Sulfite reactions look different from a histamine flush: wheeze, chest tightness, a blocked nose or a cough coming on within minutes of the first mouthful.People with asthma are the group most likely to notice it.
- Only moderate on histamine and tyramine (both C).This is not the high-histamine end of the wine shelf, so if your reaction is instant and respiratory rather than a slow flush, sulfites fit better than histamine.
- Graded poorly for SIBO and low fermentation diets, with moderate residual fructose.Drier styles carry less: brut nature and extra brut get almost no dosage sugar, while sec and demi-sec carry a lot.
- Graded pro-inflammatory (D) and not paleo or AIP compliant, though it is vegan and vegetarian friendly and clean on gluten and lactose.
