Warning to Coeliacs
Asked by Aliciah on 21 June 2012 | Viewed 236 times
Just thought I’d share a couple of cafe tips for those who are extremely sensitive to gluten.
If you are ordering eggs on gluten-free toast at a cafe, make sure you ask them if they toast the gluten-free bread on the same equipment as normal bread.
And if you are buying a gluten-free slice, ask the person serving it if they can please use clean tongs (that haven’t been used to serve gluten-containing food)to place it on your plate.
And if the gluten-free slices are displayed right next to gluten-containing foods, without a protective covering, it may be worth considering the risk of cross-contamination.
Does anyone else have any other tips?

Oh and another cafe warning: HOT CHOCOLATE!
Before you order a hot chocolate or a coffee that may have chocolate powder sprinkled on the top - ask the staff if it is gluten free chocolate powder. Most cafes I have been to use Cadburys chocolate powder, and when they read the packet it usually says “may contain traces of gluten”. Which means people extremely sensitive to gluten (like Coeliacs) shouldn’t eat it.
