SPECIAL DIETS
This is a catering term used to describe any diet different from the norm. Information on several special diets is given here, with links to specialised web sites.
Some special diets are due to food allergy or food intolerance. Others may be adopted due to ethical choice or religious practice.
For dairy-free or egg-free diets, see the A-Z checklist on the vegetarian / vegan page.
This information has been compiled by Barbara Jackson (dairy-free since 1981 and vegan since 1983) with help from people known to her on other special diets. She is not a medical practitioner or dietician, but someone with a longstanding interest in special diets.
IMPORTANT: The information here is not comprehensive. Also, no responsibility can be taken for the content of other web sites whose links are given on this one. When in any doubt, or if catering for people with severe allergies, ask your customer or guest for more information.
