Check before preparation starts
Review every packaged ingredient, including sauces, stocks, spices, toppings, and substitutes. Recheck anything newly purchased.
Plan for cross-contact
Clean hands, surfaces, and tools before preparing the allergy-aware meal. Use separate equipment when that is part of the person’s care plan.
- Prepare the allergy-aware dish first
- Use clean utensils and boards
- Keep ingredient containers closed
- Label leftovers clearly
Share the plan
Make sure everyone cooking understands which ingredients and surfaces require attention. Do not depend on memory or appearance alone.
