Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal is not offered
Give us one contact in production, usually locations or the production office.
