CONTENTS
It is becoming more common these days for
customers to request foods free of particular
allergens or certain ingredients. There are many
ways you can lead the way and provide a great
service to these customers without compromising
on quality or taste.
Common requests are; gluten free, nut free, dairy
or lactose free, egg free or soyabean free. Many of
these requests also relate to particular ‘lifestyle diets’
customers choose to follow that suits their particular
lifestyle. Whatever their reasons, it shouldn’t make
a difference to your attitude towards your customer.
By providing alterative options, your business can
provide a valuable service to a growing number of
customers with special dietary needs.
This brochure is designed to offer inspiration and
education to customers with both allergies and
who follow lifestyle diets to ensure you have the
ingredients and knowledge to offer great tasting
options without compromising on quality.
