Plan for dietary needs

Ask, label and separate.

5 min read

Food allergies can be serious. A little planning keeps everyone safe and included.

How

  • Ask guests about allergies and dietary needs when you invite them
  • Make at least one main and a few sides everyone can eat
  • Keep allergen-free dishes and serving spoons separate
  • Label dishes, including ingredients in sauces and dressings
  • Keep packaging so guests can check ingredients

Serious allergies

Talk with guests who have severe allergies about what they need. They may prefer to bring their own food, and that's fine.

General information. Follow USDA food safety guidance and ask guests about allergies. Kindred Home Life isn't paid by any store or brand.
