Dedicated Allergen Prep Zone
A dedicated allergen prep zone isolates tools, staples, and spreads so rushed cooking does not cross-contact safe meals with shared pantries.
A dedicated allergen prep zone is a counter or cabinet segment with clean tools, labeled safe staples, and no shared crumb boards for the allergic household member. Store allergen-containing spreads on a separate shelf to reduce grab-and-go mistakes.
