My DD is almost 4 and has always had multiple food allergies but it was only this summer I got brave enough to start ordering her food when eating out rather than bringing my own (complicated by 2 years old DS who has type 1 diabetes and so I have to carb count every morsel that passes his lips). Anyway, it's been much easier than I expected and DD really loves it (possibly because she inevitably ends up with chips in there somewhere!).
Anyway, I digress. This post relates to an experience I had at Morrisons last week. I got to the till ready to order some chips for DD and to check that they were dairy, egg, nuts and sesame free (which they nearly always are) to be told that I'd have to fill in a form at Customer Services and then they would write out to my home address with the allergen information. I'm assuming this is standard practice at Morrisons but if anybody has had a more happy experience there then I'd like to hear about it. We ended up with beans on unbuttered bread.
I've tried Sainsburys with no bother (even though they weren't exactly gracious about it) but not Tesco. Can anybody tell me what to expect in Tesco i.e. will they be able to give me the allergen information there and then? Thanks
