Cafeterias post 'right to
know' food allergy alerts
Food allergies can be life-threatening.
To minimize the chance of accidental exposure to a food that may trigger
an allergic reaction, the district's new food-service provider posts
"right to know" information in every school cafeteria. The information
-- kept in a binder -- lists ingredients in school food that are common
causes of food allergies. They include:
-
Milk and milk products
-
Egg and egg products
-
Peanut and peanut products
-
Tree nut and tree nut products
-
Soy and soy products
-
Fish and fish products
-
Shellfish and shellfish products
The binder does not list manufacturers
who also may process allergens (like peanuts) in other products they
produce. However, Whitson's requires its manufacturers to have practices in
place that minimize the possibility accidental contamination from other
products during the manufacturing process.
Any student with a severe food allergy should
NOT assume that a food is safe to eat and should always ask before eating
cafeteria food. That student's parent or guardian should contact the
food-service manager to discuss dietary needs and restrictions. Product
specifications are subject to change and manufacturers are not required by
law to provide updated ingredient declarations to Whitson's.
