Super Bowl with Food Allergies
February 5, 2010
Each year, the traditions of the Super Bowl include the best NFL' teams, the most expensive commercials, the Half time show, and foods and drinks. Here are some good tips and solutions for an allergen-free get together celebration this coming Sunday afternoon.
The 44th edition of the NFL (National Football League) Super Bowl will be broadcast in less than 48 hours and Americans will gather to watch one of the most famous sporting events in the world. During the entire day, hostess will serve nibbles and drinks to their guests who will defend their favourite colours and players. Whether you are cooking or serving already-bake nibbles for your supporters, make sure to keep in mind that a small percentage of your guests may suffer of food allergies and food intolerances. Therefore, it is priory to read all the labels on each food and prevent cross-contamination to guarantee a safe environment for all your guests and fans of the Indianapolis Colts & New Orleans Saints teams.
Here are some useful tips for you to enjoy during the biggest sporting event, and to avoid visit to the Emergency Room.
