Does Your Restaurant Practice Food Safety?

Food safety is an extremely important topic that is often glossed over. It is important for restaurants to take into account that food safety includes not only good sanitation practices and proper refrigeration but also things like food allergy precautions, and the difference between food allergies and food intolerance. To help restaurateurs learn how to deal food allergies, Asian Restaurant News spoke with Celebrity Chef Ming Tsai about his involvement in the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network and have included a feature from Registered Dietician Dr. Jacqueline Newman about allergies to nuts.

Also this month, lamb is on the Asian menu. We have included some scrumptious lamb recipes as well as how to shop for and safely prepare lamb dishes for your customers.

We also feature major Asian restaurant success stories from Typhoon! and Todai. In addition, our monthly column from Healthy Dining is back to tell you why brown rice is better.
