What should you do if a guest asks about a sauce's ingredients or allergens?

• A. Provide accurate allergen information, note any contraindications, and escalate to a manager if needed.
• B. Ignore allergen requests and rely on guests to read labels.
• C. Provide only generic ingredients without specifics.
• D. Refer to the internet for allergen details.

Answer: (A)

When a guest asks about a sauce’s ingredients or allergens, the priority is accuracy and guest safety. You should know which ingredients are in the sauce and which ones are common allergens, and clearly communicate any components that could pose a risk or contraindicate consumption. If you’re unsure or the recipe could have changed, escalate to a manager to confirm current ingredients and cross-contact notes. Never guess, ignore the request, or rely on generic labels or the internet for information. If there are safe alternatives, offer them to help the guest.
