Recipes Free From the Top 9 Allergens
Meals that avoid milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame.
Quick Answer
The top 9 food allergens in the US are milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. Finding recipes free from all nine is challenging but possible — especially with whole-food, plant-forward cooking.
The FDA's top 9 allergens account for the vast majority of food allergy reactions. Creating meals that avoid all nine requires careful ingredient selection, but it's absolutely achievable — and many cuisines around the world naturally exclude most or all of these allergens.
This guide helps you navigate top-9-free cooking with practical substitution strategies and a curated recipe collection.
