Hosting Tips for Allergy-Friendly Gatherings
Even if you don’t live with food allergies, you can make your space feel welcoming and safe with just a few thoughtful steps:
Keep original packaging for all store-bought items so guests can check labels themselves.
Clearly label dishes with potential allergens (or mark what’s safe).
Physically separate unsafe items from allergy-friendly ones to avoid cross-contact.
Use separate utensils for serving each dish—especially dips, sauces, and shared platters.
Wipe down surfaces before prepping allergy-safe foods, and wash hands between tasks.
Ask your guest what they need—they’ll appreciate your care more than you know.
