Allergy Disclaimer & Food Safety Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025
 

Applies To: All catering services, food items, menu offerings, and related operations provided by Always Fresh BBQ.

1. General Statement

Always Fresh BBQ is committed to providing high-quality food and service to our clients. However, due to the nature of catering operations and the shared environments in which our food is prepared, we do not and cannot guarantee that any food or beverage item is free from allergens, cross-contact, or other food safety risks.

 

We prepare food in both commercial and mobile kitchen environments that are not allergen-free, and we handle a wide range of ingredients that may include, but are not limited to:

 

Peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, dairy, eggs, soy, wheat, sesame, gluten, and other allergens.

2. Outsourced Food Production

To support large-scale operations and maintain consistency across events, many of our food items are produced and/or sourced from third-party suppliers. This includes, but is not limited to:

 

  • Burgers

  • Salads and pre-cut produce

  • Cookies and baked goods

  • Condiments and packaged beverages

 

While we make every effort to partner with reputable vendors and review product information where possible, we do not control the manufacturing, storage, or preparation environments used by these suppliers.

 

Accordingly, we make no guarantee—express or implied—regarding the presence or absence of any allergens, contaminants, or food sensitivities in these outsourced items.

3. Food Safety Compliance

Always Fresh BBQ operates in compliance with Florida food safety standards, following the guidelines established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Florida Department of Health (DOH). Our staff adhere to standard food handling, storage, and sanitation procedures.

 

However, despite our efforts to maintain compliance with these regulations, we cannot and do not guarantee the safety or integrity of all food items, particularly in cases involving:

 

  • Allergens or sensitivities

  • Client handling of food on-site

  • Cross-contamination during large-scale service

  • Variability in supplier-prepared products

 

All food and beverages are consumed at the sole risk of the client and their guests.

4. Cross-Contact Risk

Our food is prepared, transported, and served using shared surfaces and equipment. While our team follows general cleaning protocols between uses, cross-contact between food items is always possible.

 

This may occur through:

 

  • Shared grills, knives, tongs, or utensils

  • Coolers, trays, and transport containers

  • Buffet stations and serving tables

  • Cooking oils, sauces, or condiments used across multiple dishes

 

Always Fresh BBQ does not offer allergen-free kitchens, facilities, or preparation processes.

5. Client & Guest Responsibility

It is the sole responsibility of the client to:

 

  • Notify us in writing of any food allergies, dietary restrictions, or sensitivities well in advance of the event

  • Request ingredient information and confirm suitability for their guests

  • Communicate all potential risks to guests and take necessary precautions for those with severe allergies

 

If any guest or attendee has a life-threatening or severe allergy, we strongly advise that they do not consume any food provided by Always Fresh BBQ.

6. No Guarantee or Warranty

Always Fresh BBQ does not:

 

  • Guarantee that any food item is free from allergens or cross-contamination

  • Guarantee that food will meet specific dietary, medical, or religious requirements

  • Warrant any verbal or written assurances regarding food safety, unless specifically documented in a signed agreement

 

No employee or representative is authorized to make any statement that overrides this policy or implies any form of guarantee.

7. Waiver of Liability

By booking services with Always Fresh BBQ, the client expressly agrees that:

 

  • Always Fresh BBQ, its owners, employees, suppliers, and affiliates shall not be held liable for any allergic reaction, illness, injury, or health-related incident resulting from the consumption or exposure to any food or beverage item, regardless of cause.

  • This waiver of liability applies to all circumstances, including but not limited to negligence, supplier errors, cross-contact, preparation methods, or labeling inaccuracies.

  • The client assumes full responsibility for communicating risks to guests and for any consequences arising from the consumption of food at their event.

 

All attendees consume our food at their own risk.

8. Indemnity Clause

The client agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Always Fresh BBQ, its owners, employees, and affiliates from any and all claims, losses, damages, costs, or legal actions resulting from allergic reactions, food sensitivities, or food safety-related incidents occurring at or after the event.

 

This indemnification extends to third-party claims brought against Always Fresh BBQ arising from the event’s catering services.

9. Policy Acceptance

By engaging Always Fresh BBQ’s catering services, submitting a deposit, or confirming a booking, the client acknowledges and agrees that they:

 

  • Have read, understood, and accepted this Allergy Disclaimer & Food Safety Policy

  • Acknowledge that Always Fresh BBQ does not guarantee the absence of allergens or contaminants in any product

  • Accept full responsibility for all risks associated with the consumption of food and beverages provided

  • Waive all rights to compensation, refund, or claims related to allergic reactions or dietary sensitivities
