Nut Contamination (and no, I am not talking about our family)

Here is a very good perspective on nut cross contamination written by the husband of a nut allergic woman. The first part of this article discusses their issues with cross contamination and how even with their extreme diligence those pesky nuts manage to creep into everything. Breads, sauces, pastries, and even after the staff assured them all was safe and nut free.

The second part is geared toward waitstaff and kitchens. Please read and as he requests, feel free to pass on to anyone you know in food service or who might have an interest. The more restaurant staff knows the better we will all be.

We have already cut back our dining for other reasons but had we not, this would have easily sealed the "limited restaurant exposure" deal for us.
