J Allergy Clin Immunol 111(2):350-359 (PMID 12589356) — identifica Vit v 1 (LTP, 9 kDa, registrata WHO/IUIS con esposizione alimentare) come allergene maggiore di uva e vino, responsabile anche di anafilassi. Wigand P, Tenzer S, Schild H, Decker H. 2009. J Agric Food Chem 57(10):4328-4333 (PMID 19385597) — la LTP è presente in quantità nettamente maggiori nei vini rossi (es. Dornfelder) rispetto a rosé e bianchi, per il contatto prolungato con le bucce durante la macerazione; l'alcol/vino è inoltre un noto cofattore/augmentation factor nelle reazioni da sindrome LTP.

You can declare, in free text, the substances you're allergic or intolerant to: an AI interprets them and the app tries to exclude them from scanner results, recipes, and products. This is a best-effort aid to reduce risk, not a safety guarantee: the underlying ingredient and product data isn't clinically validated allergen by allergen, and your declaration may be interpreted inaccurately. Always check the label yourself before consuming a product, especially for severe allergies.
