Where might it appear?
Above regulatory threshold is only a starting point. An allergen can be present in an ingredient, a topping, a sauce, an alternative milk or another component of a product.
- Check the full ingredient information supplied by the business.
- Check drinks, food, toppings and substitutions separately.
- Consider preparation and shared equipment as well as the recipe.
Questions to ask
- Does this product contain Sulphites?
- Could it have come into contact with Sulphites during preparation?
- Does changing the milk, syrup, topping or sauce change the allergen information?
- Is this information current for this location and recipe?
How AllergenFinder shows it
Products can distinguish between an allergen that is listed as present and one that is listed as possible through cross-contact. If information is unavailable, AllergenFinder treats it as Unknown rather than safe.
Before you order
Use AllergenFinder to understand the published information, then speak directly to the barista. Tell them exactly which allergy you have and ask them to confirm the current information.
