Food Allergies
by ruth on December 10, 2007
If you're hosting a party this holiday season and some of your guests have food allergies, you might want to opt for a sit-down meal instead of offering a buffet. Even f you've prepared dishes for your guests with food allergies, cross-contamination occur easily in such settings, as pointed out by Dr. Chad Mayer, Director of the Comprehensive Food Allergy Clinic at the Allergy & Asthma Institute of SE Michigan in West Bloomfield.
Have an allergy-safe holiday season!

Dr. Mayer calls the buffet style of serving foods during the holidays "a dangerous setting to be in when people have food allergies." He adds that serving spoons often go from one dish to another, causing cross contamination-spreading the allergy-causing ingredients to the non-allergy-causing foods.
Have an allergy-safe holiday season!
