I think both parties have a responsibility.
The allergic person needs to ask about foods/additives they are sensitive too. Restaurants need to provide accurate responses. If a restaurant provides false information that leads to harming the diner, I think the restaurant has some liability.
I don't have a problem with a restaurant declining to serve a customer who they feel they can't safely accommodate.
But both parties have responsibility, just that the restaurant has to be given a chance to respond on their ability to handle the limitation. |
