Why Schools Need Allergy-Safe Menus

With 1 in 13 children having a food allergy, schools must plan cafeteria menus that accommodate diverse dietary needs. An allergy-safe menu isn't just a health measure — it's a legal duty of care. Schools that publish menus with clear allergen information demonstrate transparency and protect themselves from liability.

This tool lets cafeteria managers build menus proactively: choose which allergens to exclude school-wide (or for specific students), see only safe dish options, and export a formatted menu card suitable for display boards, parent newsletters, and student portals.
