Around 33 million people in the U.S. have at least one food allergy. If you’re one of them, you’ve probably searched high and low for dairy, fish, soybean and peanut allergy-friendly restaurants.

Why Choose Allergy-Friendly Restaurants?
Few things are more frustrating than heading to a restaurant for a healthy meal only to find you can’t eat most of the menu. Food allergies are undeniably rising, so the chances of that happening are increasing. These allergies can be severe, and many of us can’t take any chances when dining out.
Allergy-friendly restaurants specialize in providing safe dining options. For example, egg allergy-friendly restaurants will take special precautions to make sure none of the foods on the menu make contact with eggs, even in passing. They demonstrate their commitment to a welcoming and inclusive dining experience by understanding the needs of their customers. While their menus usually contain allergens, they have a wide range of allergy-free dishes, stricter food handling procedures and proper labeling.
Allergy-friendly restaurants store allergens separately from other ingredients and use specific utensils during food preparation. They go the extra mile to prevent cross-contact and have strict labeling policies. Allergens must be mentioned on every menu item, and food alternatives must be used to ensure you get the complete experience when you visit.
Of course, no restaurant can cover every possible food allergy in its menu. Instead, most focus on the “big 9” most common food allergies, which include:
- Milk
- Eggs
- Fish
- Shellfish
- Tree nuts
- Peanuts
- Wheat
- Soy
- Sesame
