Understand the term
Cross-contact is the unintended introduction of an allergen into a food. It differs from an allergen deliberately included as an ingredient.
Ask practical questions
Discuss shared utensils, surfaces, equipment and cooking oil with staff. Ask what the kitchen can actually do for your meal.
Use the optional statement
The generator lets you explicitly include a cross-contact request. It does not infer a tolerance or a severity from your chosen foods.
Keep personal advice separate
This guide does not set a safe amount or tell you whether a meal is appropriate for you. Follow your own care plan and professional advice.
