YOUR PERSONALISED FOOD GUIDE · S1
Explore where tree nuts connect to local dishes and ingredients, recognise useful names and prepare questions for your next meal.
Typical recipes and products vary. This guide supports your research and conversation; it does not verify an individual meal.
Read the complete meal: its base, sauces, stock, seasonings, coatings, garnishes and preparation. A familiar dish name does not establish the recipe used for the serving in front of you.
This guide keeps every selected food together. A recorded connection identifies something worth checking; a missing connection leaves the ingredient status unknown.

| Sauce, stock or dressing | Ask for the complete recipe or original package, including sub-ingredients. |
| Premix or seasoning | Check every flour, flavouring, extract, carrier and blend component. |

| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 · Find every ingredient list | Read the main product and every separate sauce, soup, topping or seasoning sachet. |
| 2 · Check names and derivatives | Look for tree nuts, recorded forms and compound ingredients. |
| 3 · Read the wider declaration | Check allergen and shared-production wording, and confirm it applies to the exact product and size. |
| 4 · Resolve uncertainty | Ask for the original package or contact the maker. If the information cannot be confirmed, keep the product unresolved. |
Labelling rules vary by country and by how food is sold. A restaurant meal, loose bakery item or repacked food may not carry the same information as a sealed retail product.
| Conversation step | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Explain the complete list | State tree nuts together and explain in your own words whether each is an allergy, intolerance or another requirement. |
| Check the recipe | Ask a chef, manager or another person who can verify every ingredient and bought-in component. |
| Check preparation | Discuss shared oil, water, grills, utensils, work surfaces and substitutions where these matter to you. |
| Confirm the final order | Repeat the agreed version and ask who will verify it when the meal is served. |

TRY THIS“I need to avoid tree nuts. Could you check every ingredient in this dish, including sauces, stock, seasonings and garnishes, and tell me how it will be prepared?”
An honest inability to confirm is useful information. Ask which other item the kitchen can explain completely, or choose another venue or packaged product whose ingredients you can verify.
