Flavors of Italy
Blunder in serving Gluten free Food

The complaint pertains to a Italian Restaurant by the name “Flavors of Italy”. The restaurant has added “Gluten Free Diet” to its menu and they are charging Rs 85 per dish more for such dishes.

I ordered for one gluten free pasta dish on 15th March during lunch time. It was served with a loaf of bread which definitely contains gluten. When I tasted the Pasta I did not find it to be gluten free. Then I called for the manager of FLAVORS. He insisted that it was gluten free dish. When I remained adamant on talking to the chef, he himself went to confirm in the kitchen. “Then he informed me that it was not 100% Gluten Free Diet.”

Gluten free diet is prescribed for people suffering from Coeliac disease. Coeliac disease is a life-long inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. This is caused by sensitivity to gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, barley and oats. When eaten, gluten causes changes in the lining of the upper part of the intestine that impairs its ability to absorb nutrients from food. It’s a major medical problem and can lead to extreme problems like Calcium deficiency, anemia and even infertility in women.

International airlines serve Gluten free diet however they make sure that the same does not contain any trace of gluten.

I feel that it’s a serious irresponsibility on part of FLAVORS to serve Gluten free food when it is not perfectly gluten free. The food can have serious implications for people like me who are suffering from Coeliac disease.

We should boycott the place till it does not change its menu.

Please initiate some action against the restaurant. Its details are:
