As the holiday season approaches, many of us are looking forward to sharing a delicious Thanksgiving meal with friends and family. However, those with food allergies often worry about having safe food options during a Thanksgiving feast. I have set forth below some major allergens that show up in unexpected places within your typical Thanksgiving feast.

Soy: basting broths

It is important to let your host know your food allergies in advance so that there are safe options available for you to eat. Alternatively, you can also bring your own prepared food to ensure you have something to eat.
