Food Allergy-Friendly City Guide

Brookly Food Allergy Friendly Guide

There are so many reasons to fall in love with London. From the double decker buses to the British Museum, the Beatles and the Queen — we're obsessed with all things British.  For food allergy families, the iconic city is an ideal international destination, and not just because they speak English. Since 2014, restaurants and packaged foods are required by law to provide ingredient information on 14 of the top food allergens (top 8 + sesame, mustard, molluscs, celery, lupin, sulphur dioxides/sulphites). Between these high allergen standards and high tea, we may never leave!
