Machalei Sakana – Blessing on foods forbidden due to danger:[1]
A blessing is not to be recited over foods which are forbidden to be eaten due to danger. This applies whether the food was prohibited by the Sages due to danger [i.e. fish and meat mixture], or is personally forbidden to the person [i.e. lethally allergic to dairy]. However, if the food is simply generally not healthy or recommended [i.e. high in sugar or salt] then a blessing is to be recited upon eating or drinking the food.
