On December 13, entered into force the new law of EU Regulation 1169/2011 which obliges restaurants to provide information about allergens of all the food they serve. For this reason, is very important that all professionals involved in the process have a good training to prevent cross contamination problems.
People who have an intolerance or allergy may suffer serious consequences in the case of ingesting traces (tiny pieces) of the product to which they are allergic to and that sometimes happens for cross-contamination or mishandling of food.
Therefore it is not enough that workers are informed and to inform customers of the dishes they can eat and the ones they can’t. It is necessary professionals become formed so that there is no possibility of contamination of the dishes served or mishandling of products that serve to the intolerant or allergic person who is eating out of home.
We hope you are being adapted to the new way of doing and that your customers are more than satisfied with your efforts.

Already entered in April, we are quiet closer to a date that we love: the Easter Monday, and with it, its delicious cakes.
Last year, in Catalonia according to La Vanguardia News, over half a million Easter cakes were sold. People in Catalonia like chocolate. The cakes are given by godparents to their godchildren, traditionally as a symbol of abstinence had finished. Last year, in addition to the most traditional figures, the the best selling ones were La Cerdita Pepa and Maya the Bee, as well as the ones representing The Simpsons and The Monster High.
Probably all of you have heard about the importance of the environment of a shop at the time to encourage the consumer to buy. Since some time ago Food Trend Trotters food trends, also talk about another concept to consider: the Eater-tainment, which can be translated as the experience of eating.
The Eater-tainment must satisfy people’s wishes to be surprised, try something new and original, live intensely and get away from the monotony. Basically, it is about creating products that connect with the emotional part of the individual.
