Allergies, intolerances, a diet you keep, or a food nobody in the house will touch. Set them in your profile and every plan, recipe, and grocery list after that respects them.
Exclusions live on your family profile, not on a single week. Once a food is out, it stays out of every plan, every recipe, and every grocery list. There is no per-week checkbox to remember and no plan that quietly reintroduces something you removed in March.
One child with a dairy allergy does not make the whole house dairy free. Preferences and exclusions are set per person, and plans work around the combination. Where a swap can keep one dish working for everyone, the recipe says what to change.
Vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten free, or simply no mushrooms in this house. The mechanism is the same. Preferences that are about taste rather than safety are treated as preferences, so you can relax one without unpicking your whole profile.
