Families Breathe Easier at Peanut-Free Resort Restaurant
April 7, 2010
Port Stanton, ON – Vacation time. It’s all about having fun, seeking
adventure, and indulging in great meals.
But for some families, the vacation adventure can start in a restaurant
as they try to select foods that will not trigger a peanut allergy. The
diligence required to make safe food choices is far from fun.
Bayview Wildwood Resort, located in the historic lakefront community of
Port Stanton, has a solution for families who have a member with a
peanut allergy – they offer a peanut free dining environment.
“It might seem a bit odd to some people that we operate a family resort
with nary a peanut butter sandwich in sight, but we recognized a growing
number of families asking for a peanut free dining environment and we
felt it was important to accommodate them”, says owner and sixth
generation hotelier Dianne Hounsome.
The peanut free policy was adopted a few years ago at the resort. In
addition to the lack of peanut butter, no peanut based oils are used to
prepare foods. Even the ice cream (Champan’s) is peanut free. Any snacks
prepared for children are guaranteed to be peanut free.
“We are diligent in reminding employees to wash their hands and food
service and preparation surfaces thoroughly if they come in contact with
peanuts,” says Hounsome. Since we have housekeeping cottages at the
resort, there may be guests who bring peanut products with them on
vacation. However, we can offer our guests the comfort in knowing we do
not serve food with peanuts, and that we take a lot of effort to ensure
all of our employees know about our guests who have a peanut allergy.”
Some industry statistics suggest that the number of children with peanut
allergies doubled from 1997 to 2002, and 1.5 percent of the Canadian
population has a peanut allergy.
