About AllowedOn

What AllowedOn Does

AllowedOn is a reference site that helps you quickly check whether a specific food or ingredient is compatible with a particular diet. The site covers 25 dietary frameworks — from Keto and Whole30 to Vegan, DASH, AIP, and more — and classifies hundreds of foods against each one.

Every food is given one of three classifications for each diet:

• Allowed — the food is generally compatible with the diet based on its standard guidelines.
• Not Allowed — the food conflicts with the diet's core restrictions and should be avoided.
• Limited — the food may be acceptable under certain conditions, such as specific brands, preparation methods, or portion sizes.

Who This Site Is For

AllowedOn is designed for anyone who wants a quick, clear answer to the question "Can I eat this on my diet?" — whether you are starting a new dietary approach, grocery shopping, or double-checking a food before adding it to a recipe.

The site is especially useful if you follow multiple diets or want to compare how a single food is classified across different dietary frameworks.

How to Use the Site

• Browse by diet — visit any diet page to see all classified foods for that dietary framework.
• Compare a food — use the Compare tool to see how one food is classified across every diet at once.
• Look up a food — use the Lookup page to search for a specific food by name.
• Explore popular foods — check the Popular page for commonly searched items.

Our Editorial Approach

Classifications on AllowedOn are based on the published guidelines, principles, and widely recognized rules of each dietary framework. We do not create or endorse any diet — we document how foods are classified under each diet's established criteria.

Our process is explained in detail on the How It Works page. In short: each food is evaluated against the specific restrictions, allowances, and categories defined by each diet. Classifications are reviewed for internal consistency across the site, and we welcome corrections from readers who identify errors.

AllowedOn is maintained as an independent informational resource. We do not have affiliations with diet programs, food brands, or supplement companies. The site does not accept payment for classifications or favorable listings.

What This Site Is Not

AllowedOn is not a substitute for professional medical or nutritional advice. Diet rules can vary by source, and individual health needs differ. Packaged food ingredients can change between brands, regions, and production runs — so you should always read product labels before making dietary decisions.
