Allergies

At Taste Nature we are aware that gluten & other allergens can be an issue for people. Where we can, we cater for those who have sensitivities and have systems and processes in place to minimise any contamination.

While we do our very best, we are working with many types of product and we cannot fully guarantee no cross contamination, in addition many products we use may have traces of allergens through the manufacturing and transporting processes that are out of our control. If you have concerns or specific allergies, please inform our staff to discuss options.
