Abstract: Food allergies remain a critical issue that needs more research. To identify and manage food allergies, the integration of complex computational approaches is becoming more and more important, opening the door to more individualized and efficient food safety solutions. Which aims to end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. This research investigates the application of image classification techniques for allergen detection in food images. Specifically, we compare two models Model 1 serves as the baseline, trained on 11 classes. Two variations were explored: Model 2 focuseson Pakistani dishes, to investigate the impact of learning rate on the balance between adaptation speed and model precision. The objective is to determine the most effective model for classifying food images therefore Model 2 achieves the highest accuracy of 94%.These findings suggest that Model 2 is a promising candidate for real-world allergen detection applications. Future research will focus on creating a comprehensive new dataset of food images encompassing a wider variety of food items, as well as exploringthe integration of a model similar to model 2 into mobile applications for consumer use
