Some people have allergies. That means they cannot eat some foods because their body thinks they are under attack when they eat that food and has an immune response that is dangerous and can kill. One typical reaction is swelling. The foods that cause allergies are called allergens. The 14 most common allergens appear in bold type in the ingredients list on packaging. Many other foods can also cause allergies. People with allergies to nuts and seeds must beware of cooking oils as most of them are pressed from nuts and seeds. Foods likely to cause allergies should be stored separately from other foods if customers are likely to have food allergies.

6d: • How can chefs adapt their menus • to provide healthy options? [6]
6d: • Reduce the use of salt by seasoning with • herbs and spices instead. • Battered deep fried white fish could be replaced • with oven baked breaded fish to reduce • the fat content. Meat should be trimmed of its fat. • Boiled new potatoes or potato baked in its skin • or potato wedges instead of, or • offered as an alternative to, chips. • Desserts based around fruit • (e.g. an ice cream sundae with fresh raspberry • coulis and sliced peaches)

(b) Also during the morning, the client rings to say that a guest is lactose intolerant. Explain the changes Winston would have to make for this guest. [4]
When somebody is lactose intolerant they cannot digest lactose (milk sugar) so any dairy products could be a problem. The starter does not contain any dairy products so that is O.K. The main course is a problem and would have to be changed. The creamy leek sauce could be changed to a tomato sauce. All the vegetables must be available without butter. The profiteroles are stuffed with ice cream. They will have to be served plain or stuffed with quark or some other non-dairy alternative. The oat biscuits are probably O.K. unless they are made with butter but they would have to be served without the cheese or with lactose-free cheese.

[6] Substitute wholemeal flour for the plain flour Substitute vegetarian white fat for the lard. • Use mushrooms instead of bacon • Trim the fat off the bacon. • Use peppers and tomato instead of bacon. • Use milk instead of cream.
Is this a question to find out… What you know about catering for patients with food allergies? OR What you know about preparing a presentation for an interview? It’s the first one!
Frances should define “food allergy”. It is an extreme response of the body’s immune system to a particular food. She should show pictures of people suffering allergic reactions with swollen lips or eyes, rashes, diarrhoea and vomiting. Frances must stress the seriousness of food allergy. It can lead to death especially when the person suffers an anaphylactic shock with swelling, pain and a drop in blood pressure. Sometimes their throat swells so badly that they cannot breathe. Food handlers must read food labels and be aware that many oils are made from nuts or sesame seeds. Frances should show her knowledge of the current labelling guidelines introduced in December 2014. When staff accept deliveries of packaged food the ingredients list will show the 14 most common allergens in bold type or underlined: celery, nuts, peanuts, milk, eggs, sulphur dioxide, molluscs, crustaceans, fish, lupin, soya, sesame, mustard and gluten. Allergic reactions can occur with many other foods too, including fruits like strawberry. Foods likely to cause allergic reactions must be stored and prepared separately from other foods to avoid contaminating them. The hospital kitchen must have a completely fool-proof system of identifying patients with food allergies as soon as they are admitted and communicating the information to all food handlers. Before meals leave the kitchen they should be labelled to indicate their suitability for patients with allergies.

[4] Vegetarians do not eat meat or fish. To get protein they eat dairy products, eggs and nuts, all of which are high in fat. The fats in egg and dairy are saturated fats. Eating a lot of saturated fat is believed to lead to heart disease. Vegetarians may use ready meals and takeaways a lot and these may contain hidden fats. This is really unfair!
This question is about the vegetarian restaurant mentioned at the beginning of question 8.
