I was shocked to read about this case which happened in the UK . It was about a certain Indian dish that had peanut in it . The customer who knew about his allergy always asked about the dish if it contained peanut or not . For long time the same dish had been prepared with almond power . But the company switched to peanut from almond and they not only failed to inform their customer but they lied him . They told him that it was peanut free !
Now the restaurant owner got six year jail term ! A 38 year old man dies of anaphylactic shock !
Just because he ate peanuts !

Now , why am I writing about all this ?
This can happen here as well - I think !
Some years ago when I collected information about gluten free restaurants in Qatar a fellow expat told me that some waiters think it is only a kind of snobbery that she does not want to eat gluten .
The restaurants staff is simply not well trained . They want to sell as much as possible . They simply do not understand that gluten , peanuts etc . can be fatal for those who have allergies . They are not evil just ignorant .
Eating out can be risky !
Allergies are more and more common in the world !
