At work; Food allergen

As you all know working in a restaurant you HAVE to know what is IN the recipe as times JUST INCASE if your customer have an allergic reaction towards specific kinds of food. Like nuts, soy, milk, fish, egg, wheat, and shellfish.


How to deal with it? Well...
1) They would tell you if they have an allergic reaction towards food.
2) You ask them

Soo.. The way to deal with this is to conform if the food allergen is in the food with the head chef or manager. Even if there isn't you HAVE to double check or else you would be in BIG trouble because someone would die.

Another way is to [if you work with computer screens] type in the food allergen so that the cooks can know that they person have an allergic reaction to this certain type of food so that they can put foil over the pan so the food does not touch the pan that had touch one of the food allergen that was listed.

Recently it's THE LAW [just passed] that ALL restaurant is to be inform by guests of their allergens and the restaurant to take precautions and inform the chefs/cooks.
