Whether you are hosting the barbeque or bringing food to a potluck, there are ways to help accommodate those with special dietary needs.
By asking your guests ahead of time about their food restrictions, you can plan your menu accordingly. If you are unable to know your guests’ dietary needs before the event, opt to make your menu friendly to the most common dietary needs, which are vegetarian, nut/peanut allergies and gluten intolerance. A barbeque menu that includes veggie burgers, gluten-free buns and a nut-free dessert can be extremely inclusive for those with common food restrictions.
Food and nutrition are an important part of treating and managing numerous health concerns. Planning ahead and communicating clearly about special dietary needs are important steps toward making sure your Fourth of July barbeque is safe and healthy for everybody.
