Take Precaution When Eating Out if You Have Food Allergies

If you have food allergies, dining out can be a challenge. But is there cause for concern? In a survey of 100 restaurant workers, nearly one-fourth did not know that even small amounts of food can cause a reaction. To enjoy a safe meal, follow these tips when eating out:

• Make your allergy known to the restaurant staff.
• Always ask about ingredients to which you are allergic.
• Just in case, have a plan for what to do in case of a reaction.
