Keeping diners with food allergies safe is imperative. Some tips for making that happen are, first, to keep your kitchen clean. Wash, dry and sanitize appliances, knives, and cutting boards before and after using them. Wash your hands regularly. Wash surfaces with soap and water. Next, keep food with allergens separate from food without. Store them separately, prepare them separately. Don’t hesitate to discard food that may have had contact with allergens – better safe than sorry.

Key Takeaways:

• Washing your hands when moving to a new dish or ingredient helps prevent cross contamination of allergens
• If you are not sure if the food has come in contact with an allergen you should throw it out.
• People with food allergies should store food with allergens separately from other foods.
