Dear David - I saw your email in a paragraph about holiday parties at LSF in a recent newsletter.
Our family is a long time member of LSF and it's predecessor LAC. We have never been able to eat any food sold at the club. Our kids have severe allergies to nuts - tree nuts and peanuts. They must avoid potential cross contamination by any nut protein "dust". So generally, I must ask about the ingredients and prep conditions for each item, AND the ingredients and prep conditions for any pre-prepared ingredients. Hazards that require my inquiry include breads, breaded items, fryers, chocolate, seasoning blends, sauces. Can you tell me if it is possible for them to eat in any of the venues at the club? If so, what can they eat?
Further, if we were to have parties (e.g. birthday) at the club, would your staff/facilities be able to provide food that is safe for them?

I spoke with the food and beverage department today; the consensus is as follows....The kitchen is very hesitant to make promises regarding food prep to individuals who have severe allergies. We have a small kitchen and we use a lot of nut products, as well as use our ovens to prepare items that contain nuts. I know that the pizzas are a nut free product and all that goes into the pizza is nut free, but if the children are sensitive to nut dust then that is where we get worried.
Sincerely,
