Does the genefrickery done to 40k soldiers protect them against everyday things as well? What if you're some krieger who fought your way through sheer hell finally get a civilian meal find out you have a nut allergy and die?

most humans to not have a single iota of genetic modification in 40k. it is more likely the food has been modified to make it "safe" to consume.
I refuse to believe the imperium at large gives enough of a shit to make everything hypoallergenic, atleast in hive cities.
Little Timmy is gonna become a lactose intolerant blood angel or fricking die because his parents were able to afford cheese

They would absolutely put in effort to reduce the burden on logistics of food stuffs. Also the AdMech would actually put in effort, not the Imperium.
They have to feed and supply a massive empire. Nobody has a BETTER reason to eliminate food allergies than the Imperium.
They're also incredibly bad at keeping their civilians alive - with medicine, food and health being almost explicitly thrown by the wayside in favour of what the Imperium believes to be productivity but actually isn't.
In fact, one of the ruling classes of the Imperium, the Nobility, have a trend of believing that Imperial citizens are awful, deranged scumbags who deserve nothing and feeding them properly will only result in them destroying everything, best to keep them starving but fed enough to work.
All of your post is headcanon, delusions and misinterpreted fluff. Stop being such a lackwit.
Ultramar is praised in having an expected life span in the 30's (Calgar).
Imperials on some worlds must pay for water and are literally murdered by the water taxmen for not paying up by having the water ripped out of them (Necromunda).
Some Imperials have been noted as feeding off giant collections of fat and grease in the sewers because they largely don't have access to better food (Necromunda again).
The average citizen as per DH1E (Black Industries, not 3rd Party) describes Imperial citizens as typically malnourished, frail and diseased, with stats to back it up.
One of the first things the Tau did when approaching Imperial Worlds was make them actual water purifiers and cure rampant plagues that the Imperium administration had ignored.
The AdMech in Day of Ascension keep trying to use mercury in their manufactorums to slightly improve efficiency - it kills the workers - they still try it every few years just in case it works.
The literal poster paragraph of the setting calls it the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable.
Literally how many times are you going to explicitly be shown that the Imperium is awful and willingly ignore it?

>considered genetically superior to other imperials because they're born in a microplastic-free environment
it checks out.
This sounds like one of those inane details that only secondary lore tragics obsess over. That shit really doesn't matter. I think has the right of it, and that it can be waved away as foodstuffs being processed for safe human consumption rather than the other way around. Which on the surface of it sounds a frickload cheaper and more simple to do than a mass genetic uplift project so space-Timmy doesn't get an upset tummy, a rash, or a deadly reaction to space-cashews.

Then continue disbelieving and being annoyed about it, anon.
Every human in 40k has genetic modification, they are all literally descended from people who were genetically modified pre DAoT to survive on as many worlds as possible.
We need some official art of the Afriel Strain.
yeah afriel strain intrigued me more than any other regiment. ive always had plans for some sort of killteam regiment that was afriel strain
I wonder how many mods humans received during the Dark Age of Technology. It is difficult to believe today's humans are the same as those of 40k when the Dark Age of Technology is a thing.
I think that gene programmes from the DAOT have largely removed all allergies and most diseases, and allow much (relatively) faster adaptation to different environments. You wouldnt get squats or ogryns in only 20k years without some genetic frickery.
40k humanity are the hybrid descendants of the Golden and Stone Race of Man. Baseline humans went extinct long ago as the Golden Race of Man replaced the Ungolden Man prior to the DAoT.
We have a god damn general. You stupid fricking homosexual.
Gene modding in the Imperium tends to give people more every day issues, not less. Of the two primary genewrought Guard regiments, the D99 and the Gland Warriors, the former would commonly suffer from epileptic fits, cardiac arrest and rapid bone calcification - the latter commonly develop psychosis, wildly fluctuating metabolisms and extreme addictions to chemicals that slowly killed them.
Astartes were designed in a better age, by better minds of a better people. The things the Imperium produces now is almost universally fricked and they give no shits about the cost - with few exceptions. If the current Biologis think that having you die of a heart attack at 22 is 'fair enough' I really don't see them protecting people from allergens.
Who the frick cares?
Humans from Terra to Caliban and Ultramar already passed through shitton genetic alteration (see wolves on Fenris as example) when Great Crusade began.
Also, most of the civilian food in Imperium outside of Agri worlds are either sinthetic or made out of recycled shit (add_happy_Schwab_here)
