How to Deal with Contamination at the Restaurant

How to Deal with Contamination at the Restaurant

Never let it get you down
In everyday life, going out with colleagues or friends is always a challenge for allergy sufferers and celiacs.
One should not let it get you down and especially should not limit one's life by precluding going out to lunch or dinner or going on a trip.
Word of advice: inquire
In addition to reading any reviews on popular portals, it is good to understand how the venue handles contamination. Certainly calling the venue is a great way to explain your issue and understand how they can handle it at the kitchen and menu level. Ask what dishes can be married with your diet, if they have alternative or dedicated offerings.
Read the menu and ask for the ingredient list
Every establishment is required to report allergens and keep the ingredient book available to customers. Certainly ordering a dish that already naturally does not contain the allergen greatly reduces the risk of contamination.
When ordering, don't be afraid to also ask and inquire about how the dish is presented at the table, whether with sauces or side dishes that may perhaps contain the allergen, and as always report the issue correctly.
Learning to trust
Based on the information gathered, it is possible to figure out whether or not to trust.
It is not easy to place trust in someone else without being in control, especially if it may involve feeling bad. But if all the answers to your questions have been comprehensive, and have removed any doubts, then it is time to order and trust. Surely a good time will come out of it.
