START WHERE YOU ARE

What kind of help do you need?

Pick one. The guide will give you a short, manageable place to begin.

GF

Start with gluten-free labels and a clean workspace.

Choose products labeled gluten free when needed, then protect the meal from crumbs, shared spreads, utensils, appliances, and cooking oil.

  1. Read the full ingredient list every time
  2. Choose certified gluten-free grains when your needs require it
  3. Clean hands, counters, cookware, and utensils
  4. Use separate spreads or a clean utensil every time

QUICK LABEL PRACTICE

What would you do?

Try three short questions that families can discuss together.

QUESTION 1 OF 3

A product was safe last month. Do I need to read the new package?

KID-FRIENDLY SAFETY

Teach the “Stop, Ask, Check” rule.

1

Stop

Do not taste an unfamiliar food yet.

2

Ask

Find a trusted grown-up who knows your food needs.

3

Check

Let the grown-up read the label and confirm the food.

RESOURCEFUL IN REAL LIFE

Small plans for busy days

Use what fits your household. Individual medical and allergy plans always come first.

🎒Pack a low-cost backup snack+

Pair one labeled shelf-stable food with fruit or vegetables—for example, a checked oat bar with an apple, or seed-butter packets with carrots. Keep it sealed and replace it before it expires.

🏫Questions for school or childcare+

Ask who stores medicine, how substitutes are informed, where safe food is kept, how surfaces are cleaned, and who follows the child's written emergency care plan.

🍽️A simple restaurant script+

“I have a medical food need. Can you check the ingredients and explain how this is prepared? Are the utensils, cooking surface, fryer, and serving area shared?” It is okay to choose a backup meal if the answer is unclear.

🚗Build a small travel kit+

Bring sealed safe food, wipes, a clean utensil, the person's emergency medicine, and a copy of their care plan. Check medicine storage directions and expiration dates.
