How should you handle allergens when a customer requests a dairy-free Build-A-Drink option?

Main idea: preventing allergen exposure by strict contamination controls and clear labeling when a dairy-free option is requested. When a dairy-free request comes in, use dairy-free substitutes for the base, and verify that every ingredient used is dairy-free. Prevent cross-contact by sanitizing all equipment and surfaces and using dedicated utensils, pitchers, and tools for dairy-free preparation. After assembling the drink, label it clearly so the customer and staff know it is dairy-free and there’s no confusion about what was used. This approach protects the customer from unintended dairy exposure and communicates the safety measures taken. Other approaches miss important safety steps: assuming it’s dairy-free or skipping labeling can lead to hidden dairy residues, while simply swapping milk with water alters the drink and misrepresents the product.
