Whether you’re planning an office holiday event or a corporate gathering, you’ll need help with food and catering. The dietary restrictions and preferences among your guests may vary, which means you need to find a catering company that can meet these needs. Below are a few of the most common dietary restrictions that any quality caterer should accommodate.

3 Common Dietary Regulations to Consider When Hiring Caterers 

1. Vegan/Vegetarian

Vegetarians cannot eat meat, while a vegan diet excludes anything that comes from an animal, including milk and eggs. Vegetarian options are also required for people with religious backgrounds who cannot consume non-kosher or Halal meat. Ask your catering company to set aside dishes for both vegetarians and vegans and to include ingredient lists. 

2. Gluten-Free

Gluten is a protein found in grains such as barley, rye, and oats. Some people have sensitivity or allergies to gluten; in more extreme cases, individuals with celiac disease could experience severe symptoms. Ingredients such as meat, fish, fruit, and vegetables are naturally gluten-free. 

3. Tree Nut Allergies

Allergies to tree nuts, such as peanuts or walnuts, are common. Some people cannot come into contact with the residue without experiencing a serious reaction. This is why it’s essential to offer separate dishes with no ingredients that contain tree nuts. Label them clearly so that guests don’t make any mistakes.
