Whether it is for an allergy, a sensitivity, a special diet, or personal preference, about 60% of American adults are limiting their diet by removing one or more foods. How can you handle this common issue and still provide a great meal for guests at a special event? Here are a few tips:
- Have a place to mark dietary restrictions on RSVP cards – Make sure you follow up if someone checks an allergy to see how severe it is.
- Decide whether to alter the menu or just one meal – If a significant number of guests have the same need, it makes sense to adjust the entire menu. The same thing may be necessary if there is a dangerous allergy, even for just one guest. On the other hand, if one guest has a preference or mild sensitivity, you can provide one special meal or just mark items that contain the ingredient being avoided.
- Hire an allergen-conscious catering service – You can simplify the processes by hiring a catering service that understands the importance of getting the meal right both for taste and for the health of your guests.
