How to Adapt Recipes for Food Allergies With AI Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. Why might a stir-fry made with rice noodles still be unsafe for someone with celiac disease?
   • Rice noodles naturally contain small amounts of gluten
   • Sesame oil is usually processed with wheat proteins
   • Standard soy sauce is brewed with wheat
   • High-heat stir-frying converts starch into gluten
2. Which egg substitute does the guide say can whip into a meringue, unlike a flax egg?
   • Aquafaba, the liquid from canned chickpeas
   • Unsweetened applesauce
   • Mashed ripe banana
   • Xanthan gum mixed with water
3. What did the FASTER Act change about US allergen labeling?
   • It made "may contain" statements mandatory
   • It aligned the US list with the EU's 14 allergens
   • It banned shared equipment for allergen-free foods
   • It added sesame as the ninth major allergen, with labeling required from January 1, 2023
4. What does a US label without any "may contain" statement tell you about cross-contact?
   • The product was tested and found allergen-free
   • Very little, because precautionary statements are voluntary
   • The product was made on dedicated allergen-free lines
   • The FDA inspected the facility for cross-contact
5. Why can a product labeled wheat-free still be unsuitable for a gluten-free diet?
   • Wheat-free labels are not permitted in the US
   • Wheat-free products are usually made with soy flour
   • It can still contain barley or rye
   • Wheat-free means the product contains extra wheat starch
6. Which of these situations is cross-contact rather than a hidden ingredient?
   • Anchovies in Worcestershire sauce
   • Gluten-free bread toasted in a shared toaster
   • Casein in a creamer sold as non-dairy
   • Barley in malt vinegar
7. Which prompting approach does the guide say gets better substitutions than asking for a generic replacement?
   • Asking for the most popular brand of each substitute
   • Asking the model to shorten the recipe
   • Asking the model to use only whole foods
   • Asking what function each removed ingredient served
8. Why does the guide warn against trusting an AI's claim that a particular brand is allergen-free?
   • The model cannot know current formulations, and its data may be years old
   • Brands are not allowed to be named in AI output
   • AI models cannot read ingredient lists in English
   • Allergen-free claims only apply to products sold in the EU
