New Year’s corporate events are a time for fun, socializing, and of course, numerous meals. But what about those who follow a gluten-free diet? Read our post to find out how to organize a table for all guests.

The Importance Of Organizing A Gluten-Free Menu

A gluten-free diet is not just a trendy fad. For people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it’s vital, as foods containing gluten can cause serious health problems.

Possible Risks

Incorrect product selection
Improper storage and preparation of dishes
Lack of information about ingredients from event organizers

Practical Steps To A Gluten-Free Table

1. Communication With Event Participants

As soon as the corporate event is announced, ask your colleagues about any special dietary needs. If someone follows a gluten-free diet, confirm this with them.

2. Product Selection

It’s important to know what's on the menu and which items are suitable for a gluten-free diet:

Buckwheat, rice, pearl barley, quinoa — excellent options.
Oats can only be used if they have a “gluten-free” label.

3. Contacting The Restaurant Or Catering Company

If the corporate event is organized in a cafe, be sure to check with the staff about the possibility of preparing gluten-free dishes and provide them with a list of ingredients.

4. Preparing Your Own Table

Use different containers for storing food to avoid gluten contamination.
Prepare simple gluten-free snacks: salads from fresh vegetables, fruits and berries, small portions of cheese on skewers.

5. Ensuring Participant Information

For those who prepare dishes themselves or bring them with them:

Place a list of gluten-free products in a note about the event.
Offer samples of labels for packaging and containers marked “gluten-free”.

Conclusion

Organizing a gluten-free table at a New Year’s corporate event is a simple task if you approach it with knowledge and responsibility. Your care for your colleagues will be noticed and appreciated.
