Cabo Verde · Food concerns
This Cabo Verde guide covers the recorded celery links to beef broth and chicken stock, and shows how to ask about dishes without named celery connections.
Editorial draft based on recorded food connections. Country-specific recipe connections await independent review; label research is identified separately below. This is not a list of suitable meals.
Understanding the food context
This Cabo Verde reference brings together recorded dishes and ingredients to help you prepare questions about celery. It describes catalogue connections, not the suitability of a restaurant meal.
The current catalogue has no matching dish connections for this concern. That is a research gap, not evidence that local dishes exclude the ingredient.
Read the ingredient connections and check the product actually used.
Recorded dishes are examples to discuss, not suitability recommendations.

The records connect celery with beef broth, where it may form part of a vegetable base, and chicken stock, where it is described as a common aromatic in stock formulations.
These statements concern the recorded ingredient formulations, not every broth or stock. Ask which broth is used in the particular dish and whether it is prepared from a named product or recipe.
Ask the kitchen
Which broth or stock is used in this dish?
No dish is directly recorded for celery. That means the concern may need to be checked through component ingredients, especially broth or stock, rather than through a dish name alone.
Ask whether the dish contains beef broth, chicken stock, or another prepared liquid. The available records do not establish celery content for unnamed stocks, sauces, or finished dishes.
Ask the kitchen
Does this dish contain a broth or stock, and which one?
Follow the complete recipe
These ingredients are linked to dishes recorded for Cabo Verde and to this food concern. A link is a prompt to check the exact product, not a statement about every recipe.
Ask whether beef broth contains celery in its vegetable base and whether chicken stock uses celery as an aromatic. The records describe possible or common formulations, not guaranteed contents.
Ask for the exact broth or stock recipe used today, including any prepared base. Do not treat “broth” or “stock” as sufficiently specific when the celery question depends on its ingredients.
Ask the kitchen
Can the stock or broth ingredients be identified?
Celery is used in some broth formulations as part of a vegetable base.
Celery is a common aromatic in chicken stock formulations.
Recorded examples, recipes vary
There are no matching dish notes in the catalogue yet. Missing data does not establish ingredient absence.
Platesafe has no recorded celery connection for these dishes. This does not confirm they are free from celery. Recipes and preparation vary—check with the food provider.

A verified summary of Cabo Verde’s label rules and local translations has not yet been added to this guide. Do not assume that the rules or terms used at home apply here.
Use the original packaging and full ingredient list when asking about a product. Ingredient pages contain recorded local names; check the language and the exact food form. A menu name alone does not describe the full recipe.
Check the exact food and its form. For celery, use the ingredient entries below to investigate recorded names. A name for a whole ingredient may not describe a powder, extract or mixed sauce. Confirm which product the kitchen uses.
Keep the original packet or a clear photograph available when asking for help. Ingredient recognition and a complete restaurant request are different tasks: a translated name alone does not explain the preparation you need.
Before you order
Contact the restaurant before your visit and explain your requirements to someone who can check the kitchen. Ask about the full recipe, bought-in ingredients and shared preparation equipment. These are general planning steps, not a claim about local restaurant practices.
When ordering, ask about broth, stock, gravy, and sauces in the recipe. The recorded celery connections concern beef broth and chicken stock, while no dish-level connection identifies a particular Cabo Verde menu item.
Ask for the exact base used in your serving and whether it was made in-house or purchased prepared. A general answer about the dish may not cover its liquid components.
Ask the kitchen
Which broth, stock, or sauce is part of the recipe?
Once the recipe is clear, ask how the broth or stock was prepared and added. The records do not describe kitchens, shared equipment, or handling practices, so keep questions focused on the actual liquid and serving.
Ask whether a separate stock, concentrate, or finishing sauce was introduced during cooking or plating. Do not infer celery status from appearance, aroma, or the dish name.
Ask the kitchen
Was another stock or sauce added during preparation?
General guidance; not a source for country-specific label law.
