3 improvements you can easily make to your allergen menu: ✅ Add information on what oil you use to cook dishes in - for example, if the allergens in the dish are highlighted, but the food is cooked in peanut oil, make sure that this information is also captured on the allergy menu so allergic diners have all the information to make informed decisions; ✅ Make sure you are using a simple and easy follow-to format that highlights all the Top 14 allergens; ✅ Make sure you are also including drinks and cocktails on your allergen menus - we would recommend including them on the same allergen menu so all the information is there for people to make informed decisions; If you want more advice on how to improve your menus and choice for people with allergies, get in touch with us today: https://lnkd.in/eUzGtwfh #hospitalityindustry #foodandbeverage #foodallergies #foodallergyawareness #coeliac #collaboration #people #compliance

Have you seen teal pumpkins popping up for sale at Target, Walmart or CVS, or displayed at your neighbor's door? You may have even seen teal treat buckets for the kids on Amazon or on the shelves at Party City. What does it mean? When you have food allergies, just a little bite of a food you're allergic to (aka allergen) can make you or a loved one really sick. That means that some kids and their families are uncomfortable trick-or-treating because the risk of meeting up with an allergen is just too great. Enter the TEAL Pumpkin... When you display a TEAL pumpkin at your house it means that you hand out allergy-friendly (non-food) treats on Halloween. Offering non-food trinkets and toys in a separate bowl from your candy treats makes Halloween safer and more inclusive for all trick-or-treaters. Plus it spreads awareness about #foodallergies.

Dealing with an itchy pet can put a strain on the bond between you and your furry friend. Persistent scratching and chewing can lead to discomfort and even open wounds. Understanding the underlying causes is crucial for effective treatment. The most common culprits? External parasites like fleas and allergies. Allergies, especially flea allergy dermatitis, are a frequent cause of itching in dogs. But what about food allergies or atopic dermatitis? While there's no cure for allergies, there are ways to manage symptoms and improve your pet's quality of life. From flea control to hypoallergenic diets, there are options to explore with your vet. Check out this guide for more insights into tackling your pet's itching: https://lnkd.in/ek_6szGk. #WellnessWednesday #oakwellvet

Is your baby experiencing reflux, diarrhoea or constipation? One possible cause is a delayed food intolerance passed on from the mother. A mother's IgG antibodies can pass to her baby before birth through the placenta and in the first few months of life through colostrum and breast milk. That's why, if your baby is unsettled and you suspect a food allergy, we always recommend testing the mother. ImuPro's tests can identify delayed food allergies that may be affecting you and your baby. These can be hard to find on your own because symptoms may show up several days after eating a certain food. Once you know which foods to avoid, you may find that your baby is more settled and these early months of parenthood become easier. 💚 👉 Learn more about food intolerances in babies on our blog: https://loom.ly/pFfcYYA *All information is general and is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice.

Explore Treatment Options: avoid exposure whenever possible by making dietary changes, using allergen-proof covers on pillows and mattresses, and avoiding outdoor activities during high pollen seasons. Practice Self-Care: Get adequate rest, stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, manage stress, and practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing and meditation.
