"This post is intended to prevent a situation such as ours. If you have a food allergy (peanut or tree nut allergy), beware of cross contamination! Due to his severe, life threatening nut allergies, my child asked if there were any nuts or nut oils in what he ordered as he always does when eating out. The restaurant said no. After eating take out from this restaurant, he immediately had an allergic reaction that sent him to the hospital by ambulance and required him to be on meds for several days thereafter. This could have been a result of cross-contamination as when confirming with management what he ordered did not have any nut or nut oil ingredients. He has eaten at restaurants many times and fortunately there has never been an issue as many are very aware of the many food allergies that exist more so these days then ever before. Extra precautions are usually taken when you tell them of a food allergy. We have reached out to management to alert them of the seriousness of cross contamination. This could be a matter of life or death as in my son's case. They responded to my call immediately and expressed their concern, but I don't know if they will take seriously the need to take extra precautions. In further reviewing this restaurant they have been cited with cleanliness issues in the past. Fortunately my son is ok given he had an Epi-Pen on hand and he received medical assistance immediately. My hope is this will alert this restaurant to take extra precautions in their cooking areas and prevent any future occurrences to someone else or their child."
