Allergens

MisePress includes the EU FIC 14 allergens out of the box and supports unlimited custom terms. Allergens render as colour-coded badges on cards, archives, and single recipe templates.

Manage allergens

Open Recipes → Allergens to add, edit, reorder, or remove terms. Each term supports:

• Display label and slug.
• Optional icon (term image picker).
• Optional description (used in tooltips and accessible names).

Default EU FIC 14

Cereals (gluten), Crustaceans, Eggs, Fish, Peanuts, Soybeans, Milk (lactose), Nuts, Celery, Mustard, Sesame seeds, Sulphites, Lupin, Molluscs.

Assign allergens

Use the Allergens taxonomy panel on recipes. Assigned terms automatically render on:

• Recipe cards

• Archive cards
• Single recipe templates

Display manually

Filtering by allergen

Visitors can exclude allergens from archive results via the filter bar, or directly via URL:

/recipe/?mp_allergen_excl=gluten,dairy

See Filters & Custom Queries for the full param list.

Targeted styling

Each badge gets a slug class such as misepress__allergen--gluten so you can style or icon-replace per allergen:

.misepress__allergen--gluten { background: #f6e3c9; }
.misepress__allergen--peanut { background: #f3d6c6; }

Compliance note

MisePress surfaces allergen data based on what authors enter. It does not analyse ingredient text for hidden allergens. For regulated environments (restaurants, packaged food), pair MisePress with editorial review.
