Know what you can eat, anywhere.

GalCheck reads a restaurant menu and sorts every dish for alpha-gal syndrome: safe, ask, or skip — with the reason behind each call.

You’re on the list.

Likely safe — ask for olive oil

Grilled Salmon29

Likely safe — check the butter finish

Shrimp & Grits24

Ask before ordering

Shrimp is fine. Grits are usually made with butter, milk or cheese, and the sauce often starts with bacon. “Are the grits made with butter or cream, and is there pork in the sauce?”

French Fries8

Ask — fryer oil, shared fryer

Braised Short Rib34

Beef

Read the ratings

Each dish comes back green, amber or red, with the ingredient that decided it.

Ask the right question

GalCheck writes a short, specific question for the dish you want — so you’re not explaining alpha-gal to a busy server.

The problem is never the word “beef.”

Anyone can spot the short rib. What sends people to the ER is the side dish nobody thought to question. GalCheck carries a knowledge base of where mammal ingredients actually hide.

French fries: Sometimes fried in beef tallow, often share a fryer with breaded meat.
Refried beans: Traditionally made with lard.
Collard greens: Usually simmered with ham hock or bacon.
Mashed potatoes: Butter, cream, cheese, and sometimes beef stock.
Gravy and pan sauces: Beef or veal stock, finished with butter.
Caesar dressing: Parmesan and other dairy.
Pastry and pie crust: Butter or lard in the dough.
Marshmallow and panna cotta: Set with mammalian gelatin.

Your alpha-gal isn’t everyone’s alpha-gal.

Some people handle dairy without trouble. Some react to a shared fryer. You tell GalCheck what you avoid and how cautious you want it to be, and every rating shifts to match.

What do you avoid?

Beef, pork, lamb and other mammals
Dairy
Mammalian gelatin
Mammal-derived additives
Cross-contact and shared fryers
