Bahrain Allergen Disclosure for Restaurant Menus

## Allergen Labeling in Bahrain Bahrain follows GSO standards for allergen labeling, with growing emphasis from the NHRA: ### Key Allergens - All major allergens as defined by GSO/Codex Alimentarius - Particular attention to nuts, shellfish, and dairy (common in Bahraini cuisine) - Gluten awareness growing due to international dining influence ### Restaurant Expectations - Allergen information should be available for all menu items - Staff should be trained to answer allergen questions - Cross-contamination risks should be communicated - Digital menus make allergen information more accessible ### Best Practices - Use visual allergen icons alongside text - Maintain allergen matrices in the kitchen - Update allergen information when suppliers or recipes change - Offer allergen-filtered menu views to diners ## How Qaima Helps Qaima's comprehensive allergen system with visual icons and filterable views helps Bahraini restaurants provide transparent allergen information.
