Each year TASIS hosts a number of food exhibitions on campus, and the School very much appreciates the willingness of parents and other guests to prepare delicious food for these popular events.

As food allergies and intolerances become increasingly common, the School kindly requests that guests go through the steps below before preparing any food that will be shared on the TASIS campus. These guidelines are also in place to prevent foodborne illnesses and infections.

• Please review this document: “Five Keys to Safer Food.”
• Please consult this document: “Substances that may cause allergies or other undesirable reactions.” Guests are asked to please print this document and circle items accordingly. (If guests do not have access to a printer, they can let the person in charge of the event know which ingredients their dish contains when they drop it off. The School will have extra copies of this document on hand and will help label it accordingly.)

Food Service Standards

Disclaimer on cross-contamination

Despite our strict adherence to Food Hygiene Standards (BPI-Buone Pratiche Igiene) and production practices during the production of semi-processed foods, we cannot exclude the possibility of accidental cross-contamination of ingredients due to the presence of gluten in other foods we serve.

Guests with allergies and food intolerances

• All guests with allergies, food intolerances, or undesired reactions to food elements are invited to inform the serving staff before selecting an item so that the staff may indicate and recommend foods that do not contain the allergy-provoking ingredients.
• The staff can also inform you about all ingredients and about the origins of the ingredients used in the preparation of our menu offerings.
• Meats and fish are often available without any sauces or condiments added. Please check with the Food Services staff.
• Fried foods are not served at Al Focolare, and the menu may vary.
• If not expressly indicated on the school notice boards, the country of origin of meats (and cured meats) is Switzerland.
• The menu may vary.
• The country of origin for fish will vary and is indicated separately (in a table) on the school notice board.
