There are many unknowns: Will I be able to eat safely\nat this destination? Will I feel comfortable dining out with food allergies?\nWhat kind of food will I be able to eat (and is it anything I want to eat)? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These unknowns\ncan cause stress and anxiety, and may limit the places that seem like safe\nvacation destinations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was\ntherefore somewhat of a shock when I recently traveled to London on my first\ninternational trip since the pandemic began. Over the last few years, the U.K.\nhas made big strides in how it regulates food allergy information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The very first\nrestaurant I went to in London had on its menu a simple legend identifying\nwhich dishes contained top allergens like peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, soy, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is something\nI rarely encounter in my daily life in Canada or the U.S. Yet, as a person with\npeanut and tree nut allergies, I found this relatively simple addition makes a\nworld of difference. Many servers do not relay food allergies to the kitchen\nproperly, or they may assume a dish does not contain allergens when it does. Having\na legend helps the customer and serves as a reminder to the staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/menuguide.pro\/food-allergens\/\">laws in the U.K.<\/a> (as well as in Europe) that require restaurants to make allergen information available, either directly on menus or through signage where a server can then explain verbally. These are the rules I experienced in action on my London trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dining Out with Food Allergies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a\nrevelation to find allergens were clearly labeled everywhere I went. Restaurants,\nbakeries, takeaway counters, coffee shops, ice cream parlors \u2013 almost any place\nserving food. Not only that, but at almost every restaurant I ate at, the\nserver asked if there were any food allergies to be aware of \u2013 <em>before<\/em> I\nmentioned mine! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon disclosing my food allergies at an ice cream parlor one evening, I was delighted to discover that the staff had clearly been trained on how to handle a customer with food allergies. I ordered an ice cream that was labeled nut-free. The employee went to the back with a clean scoop, took out a new container of ice cream that had not been cross-contaminated, and scooped my ice cream. I didn\u2019t even have to ask for this! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was\nefficient, easy, and made me feel more comfortable. Above all, it showed me\nwhat life could be like for people with food allergies in North America if we\nhad comprehensive food allergy legislation that required food service\nestablishments to adhere to clear rules regarding food allergy management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These food allergies laws are a result of a regulation\nfirst introduced in the European Union and adopted in the U.K. Restaurants in\nBritain are required to inform customers of allergens, either verbally or in\nwriting. Diners must have access to information regarding the top 14 allergens,\nwhich include, and extend beyond, the U.S. top nine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also rules applying to buffets and delivery\/takeaway food. Restaurants providing food delivery must provide allergen information both before the purchase and when the food is delivered. This means both on the menu \u2013 which could be online or on an app \u2013 and when delivered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, the delivered food is marked with a sticker or in writing as being allergen-safe. Food service staff must also receive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.food.gov.uk\/business-guidance\/allergen-guidance-for-food-businesses\">food allergy training<\/a>, which could be through the government\u2019s free, online food allergen training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>U.K. Rules: Room to Improve<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the food allergy regulations in the U.K. sadly came about as the result of a tragedy. Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, 15, died of an anaphylactic reaction to a baguette she bought at the airport. The teen didn\u2019t realize the freshly pre-packaged sandwich only showed \u201csome\u201d ingredients. It didn\u2019t list sesame, to which she was severely allergic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natasha\u2019s\nparents campaigned for pre-packaged foods, made in a shop\u2019s premises, to list all ingredients. In the summer\nof 2021, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/2019\/06\/27\/natashas-law-mom-hopes-groundbreaking-rules-help-everybody-else\/\">Natasha\u2019s Law<\/a>\u201d came into force. Thanks to the law,\neven allergic tourists like me are safer in takeaway foods shops and bakeries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they are not required to communicate allergies this way, many restaurants have taken to indicating clearly on their menus which items contain any of the 14 allergens. I suspect it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highspeedtraining.co.uk\/hub\/natashas-law\/\">a spillover effect<\/a> of Natasha\u2019s Law, and also related to another tragedy. Restaurants in the U.K. are only required to \u201cprovide allergen information,\u201d and that can just be verbally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s a shortcoming in the current law, as it leaves\nroom for error. Tragically, such an error resulted in the death of British\nteenager Owen Carey, who\ndied after an anaphylactic reaction to buttermilk in a meal he ordered. Dairy was not listed on the menu, nor\nwas Owen warned about it after informing the server of his allergies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following a coroner\u2019s inquest, the teen\u2019s family have launched a campaign for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/uk-57000802\">Owen\u2019s\nLaw<\/a>.\u201d It would compel restaurants to\nlist allergen information on their menus, removing the option of having\nrestaurant staff provide verbal allergen information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lessons from the U.K.  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion,\nOwen\u2019s Law is overdue \u2013 not only\nin Britain, but also in North America. Even the current food allergy\nregulations in the U.K. far exceed legislation in the U.S. and Canada. It is\nnot onerous to require restaurants to declare which items contain top\nallergens, or to require a minimum level of food allergy training for staff. However, with the\nexceptions of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/2015\/01\/30\/new-michigan-law-boosts-food-allergy-awareness-in-restaurants\/\">few\nstates and counties<\/a>, such precautions are not\nrequired in North America. This leads to confusion and anxiety for individuals dining\nout with food allergies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"208\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_5402-208x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/thisallergiclife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_5402-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/thisallergiclife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_5402-710x1024.jpg 710w, https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/thisallergiclife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_5402-768x1108.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/thisallergiclife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_5402-1065x1536.jpg 1065w, https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/thisallergiclife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_5402-1420x2048.jpg 1420w, https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/thisallergiclife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_5402-404x582.jpg 404w, https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/thisallergiclife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/IMG_5402-scaled.jpg 1775w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px\" \/><figcaption>Hannah at a brewery.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The food allergy legislation in the U.K. is far from perfect, as evidenced by Owen\u2019s death. But my personal experience of dining with food allergies in London showed that better legislation is achievable in North America. We can learn from Britain\u2019s system and experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This trip also\nshowed me that the things I have always thought would make a difference for my\ndining out experience \u2013 actually do. This includes having restaurant staff to inquire about food allergies, so\nthat the burden to disclose is lessened for folks with food allergies.\nIt also includes listing food allergies on menus at bars and restaurants, and\nhaving protocols for serving individuals with food allergies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Requiring ingredient labeling on pre-packaged foods is essential, and better labeling should also be required for food ordered through apps, since this type of ordering has proliferated. <s>&nbsp;<\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s time to update food allergy legislation and recognize the real risks that people with food allergies confront on a daily basis. We shouldn\u2019t have to wait for tragedies like Natasha and Owen to occur before real, concrete changes are made to make food safer for people with food allergies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now is the right time to start discussing how we can make labeling laws stronger regarding food allergies \u2013 and our neighbors across the Atlantic are giving us a great place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Hannah Lank, who recently graduated from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law, is a regular Allergic Living contributor.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Reading: <\/strong><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/2012\/05\/01\/step-by-step-guide-to-dining-out-safely\/\" target=\"_blank\">Step-by-Step Guide to Dining Out with Food Allergies<br><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/thisallergiclife\/nut-allergic-and-vegetarian-hurdles-in-a-happy-decision\/\">Going Vegetarian with a Nut Allergy<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allergicliving.com\/thisallergiclife\/awkward-dining-when-food-allergies-turn-into-talk-of-the-table\/\">Awkward Dining: When Allergies Become Talk of the Table<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Servers and menus were allergy-aware.
