Mang Inasal Allergen Declaration

At Mang Inasal, we are fully committed to the health, safety, and satisfaction of our valued customers. We recognize the growing need for transparency, especially when it comes to food allergens, and we strive to provide detailed information to help individuals with dietary restrictions or allergies make informed dining choices. This allergen declaration serves as a comprehensive guide for our customers who need to avoid specific ingredients due to food sensitivities or allergies.

Our dishes are prepared with a variety of ingredients, some of which may contain common allergens. These allergens may include but are not limited to: wheat, gluten, dairy (milk, cheese, butter), eggs, soy, peanuts, tree nuts (such as almonds and cashews), fish, shellfish, and certain food additives. While we take every possible precaution to minimize cross-contact, we use shared cooking equipment and preparation spaces, which may result in traces of allergens being present in some of our dishes.

We strongly encourage customers with severe food allergies to inform our staff at the time of ordering so we can take extra care in handling and preparing your meal. However, given the nature of our kitchen environment, we cannot guarantee that any dish will be completely free of allergens. Therefore, we advise individuals with life-threatening allergies to proceed with caution.

To assist our customers in making safe dining choices, we provide a detailed allergen guide that lists the ingredients of each menu item, indicating which dishes contain specific allergens. This guide also notes potential cross-contamination risks, allowing you to better assess which dishes are safe for your consumption. We regularly update this information to reflect any changes to our menu or ingredients, ensuring that you have the most current information available.

For those with special dietary needs or preferences, such as vegetarian or gluten-free options, we encourage you to speak with our staff, who will be happy to assist in finding suitable menu items. We are always willing to accommodate specific requests to the best of our ability.

At Mang Inasal, your health and dining experience are our top priorities. We remain dedicated to ensuring that you enjoy our delicious food while maintaining your safety and comfort. Should you have any further questions or concerns regarding allergens in our dishes, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team, who are trained to assist with your needs. Your trust in us is greatly valued, and we strive to uphold our commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable dining environment for all.

Shared Kitchen Utensils and Allergen Alert

At Mang Inasal, we prioritize both the efficiency of our kitchen operations and the safety of our valued customers. However, due to the nature of our kitchen environment, many of our dishes are prepared using shared utensils and equipment. This means that dishes like chicken inasal, palabok, and halo-halo, among others, are often made with the same kitchen tools. As a result, there is an inherent risk of cross-contamination with allergens, despite our best efforts to minimize this possibility.

We understand how important it is for individuals with food allergies or sensitivities to feel confident in their dining choices. Although we take steps to reduce the risk of allergens spreading between dishes, it is crucial for customers to know that we cannot guarantee any of our menu items are entirely free from allergens. For example, if you have a severe allergy to common ingredients such as eggs, soy, fish, milk, wheat, or nuts, there is a possibility that trace amounts of these allergens may be present in your food due to the shared use of kitchen utensils and cooking surfaces.

Our chefs and kitchen staff are trained to handle food with care, and our team is dedicated to providing accurate allergen information. Nevertheless, despite our training and efforts to segregate certain ingredients, cross-contact can still occur unintentionally. This is particularly important for individuals with life-threatening allergies to understand. Even if a dish does not contain a specific allergen as an ingredient, the use of shared tools, grills, fryers, or serving stations means that we cannot completely eliminate the risk of cross-contamination.

At Mang Inasal, we are constantly working to improve our food safety protocols and allergen management practices. We collaborate with our culinary teams and food safety departments to enhance our awareness and prevention measures. However, it’s important to clarify that we do not perform routine allergen testing on non-permanent or seasonal menu items to detect potential contamination, and some allergens may still go unnoticed in certain dishes.

Understanding Cross-Contamination

Cross-contamination can occur at various stages of food preparation, from the initial handling of ingredients to cooking and serving. Even minor residues can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. As such, we advise customers with food allergies to exercise caution when ordering.

Communication is Key

If you have specific dietary restrictions or allergies, we encourage you to communicate these to our staff. They will do their best to guide you in making informed choices. However, please be mindful that our kitchen practices may not completely eliminate the risk of allergen exposure.

This is the general guideline and awareness.

The information provided here is intended to raise awareness and guide customers about potential food allergens present in our dishes.
