A 2020 study found that restaurants are the second most common location for food allergy reactions, but less than 15 percent of reactions occurred when there was two-way communication between the staff and restaurant. Training staff, providing menu transparency and inviting customers to disclose their food allergies can be important steps in lowering the risk of a reaction.
