I will be posting a lot more on this in the coming weeks. It is driving me crazy how often Mike is contaminated while eating out – RIDICULOUS! Of course, it is a risk he takes every time he eats out, a known risk. And I intend to show you how much of a risk it is over the coming weeks. I am getting into a commercial kitchen to show how easy it is to contaminate food. I will have pictures and everything. This needs to be a clear point – it is a risk to eat out!
Lessening the risk is what Delicardo food cards are about. They contacted me a few months ago about reviewing their food cards, and sent me a few cards to use and other samples to see the quality and variety. I do know of one other American company that produces these cards. And I’ve created some for free download as well. These ones are done for you – and are cute to boot!

pirate cards
They also have non-children themes, in various colors that contain the same wording – advising chefs and kitchen staff of what can and cannot be eaten by the card holder.
You can order these cards from Delicardo.de. The site is in German so be sure to have your browser translate it.
About Cathy Tibbles
I RARELY eat out since I know how easily food is contaminated with gluten. There are all the obvious ways and then all the subtle ways you may not even think of. So, it is no surprise that he (Mike, as you mentioned) is continually exposed when eating out. I have noticed that even most restaurants with “GF” fare are including disclaimers about how that, although they *try*, they cannot *guarantee* GF status of the foods due to cross-contamination. I had one place that served a GF pizza (that also serves normal pizza) tell me not to worry because the heat of the pizza oven destroys any cross-contamination! EEK GADS, you MUST be joking! (needless to say, I did not eat there). Looking forward to your posts on this topic.
