Recipes without the foods you cannot eat

How Usuba helps with restrictions

• Collections without gluten or lactoseReady pages by allergen: recipes whose ingredients do not include the foods you need to avoid.
• Ingredient blacklistAdd foods you do not want to see and they disappear from the catalog. Without an account the limit is 10 items.
• An allergy filter in one tapOn an allergy page, add the foods to the blacklist and related products are excluded from the catalog. Without an account the blacklist limit still applies.
• Macros on the recipe cardSee calories and macros per serving — useful when you limit sugar or fat.

• GlutenGluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and some other grains that should be avoided if you have a sensitivity to it or celiac disease. When selecting recipes, you should avoid wheat flour, durum wheat pasta, bulgur, couscous, and rye flour, preferring gluten-free alternatives such as rice, corn, or coconut flour. This will allow you to comfortably prepare your favorite dishes without discomfort and maintain good health.
• CrustaceansCrustaceans are part of a group of seafood products that often cause allergic reactions due to the presence of specific proteins. In case of crustacean intolerance, shrimp, crabs, langoustines, crayfish, and imitation crab meat must be excluded from the diet in all forms of preparation. It is important to carefully check the composition of ready-made dishes and sauces, as crustaceans are frequently used in Asian cuisine and seafood products, and may also be present as thickeners and flavorings in unexpected products.
• EggsEgg intolerance requires excluding chicken eggs, quail eggs, and products containing egg white or yolk from your diet, including mayonnaise and its variants. When selecting recipes, it is important to pay attention to hidden sources of eggs in baked goods, sauces, and prepared foods, as they can cause unwanted reactions. When choosing dishes, focus on egg-free recipes or those with safe plant-based substitutes.
• FishIf you have fish intolerance, you must exclude all types of saltwater and freshwater fish, including salmon, cod, tuna, trout, herring, and other varieties in any form — fresh, salted, smoked, or canned. You should also avoid fish sauces, broths, caviar, and canned cod liver, as they contain fish proteins and may trigger a reaction. When selecting recipes on the site, pay attention to alternatives: seafood is often replaced with meat, poultry, or plant-based proteins, and fish sauces are substituted with soy sauce or vegetable broths.
• PeanutsPeanuts are one of the most common food allergies, so if you have this allergy, you need to carefully check the composition of ready-made products and exclude peanut butter, peanut oil, roasted and ground peanuts from your diet. Cross-reactions can also occur with other legumes, so it's important to pay attention to labels and food production methods. On our website, you will find peanut-free recipes and products without peanut derivatives that will help you prepare safe and delicious dishes.
• SoyIf you have a soy intolerance, it is necessary to exclude soy sauce, miso paste, tofu, soy milk, and other soy-based products from your diet, as they can cause digestive discomfort and allergic reactions. When choosing recipes, it is important to carefully check the composition of finished products, as soy is often hidden in unexpected ingredients and seasonings. On our website, you will find many delicious alternative dishes that completely exclude soy components and are suitable for safe and comfortable eating.
• MilkMilk intolerance requires excluding dairy products from the diet, including cow's milk, kefir, yogurt, cottage cheese, cream, and all types of cheese. When selecting recipes, dairy ingredients should be replaced with plant-based alternatives — coconut, almond, rice, or soy milk, as well as vegan analogs of sour cream and butter. This will help avoid digestive system discomfort and make dishes accessible for people with this particular dietary need.
• Tree nutsTree nut intolerance requires eliminating pistachios, walnuts, almonds, cashews, pecans, hazelnuts, pine nuts, and products based on them, including nut butters, flour, and milk from your diet. When selecting recipes, it is important to carefully check the composition of sauces, baked goods, and ready-made dishes, as nut ingredients often hide in unexpected places. Replacing nuts with seeds, coconut, or safe grains will help maintain variety and nutritional value in your menu.

Common questions

Do the filters work without an account?

Yes. The blacklist and exclusion collections stay in the browser on this device. The account does not receive the list; moving it to another device is an encrypted copy you carry yourself. A subscription removes the item limits in the interface.

How many foods can I blacklist for free?

Without a subscription, up to 10 ingredients. An allergen collection adds several foods at once and can hit that limit. A subscription removes the limits.

How is an allergy page different from the blacklist?

An allergy page is a ready collection of recipes without the related foods. Its button adds those ingredients to the local blacklist. You can edit the list yourself; the reason for an exclusion is not stored.

Does the service guarantee an allergen is absent?

Recipes are filtered by the ingredients in the database. Before you cook, still check product labels and substitutes — the package can differ.
