Here's some functional language that you can use during the Food Allergy or

Dietary Restriction Discussion role-play based on various dietary preferences,

allergies, or restrictions:

Asking about Ingredients:

"Excuse me, could you please tell me if this dish contains [allergen or restricted
ingredient]?"
"Are there any [allergen or restricted ingredient]-free options on the menu?"
"Could you confirm if there are nuts/dairy/eggs in this dish?"
"Is this dish prepared with gluten/wheat/barley?"

Requesting Substitutions or Modifications:

"Would it be possible to have this dish without [allergen or restricted

ingredient]?"
"Could I substitute [ingredient] for [alternative ingredient] in this dish?"
"Can I get the dressing/sauce on the side, as I'm allergic to [specific ingredient]?"
"Is there a way to make this meal dairy-free/vegetarian/vegan?"

Expressing Dietary Needs:

"I'm [allergic to/avoiding] [allergen or restricted ingredient], so I need to be

cautious."
"I follow a [specific diet], so I'm looking for suitable options."
"I'm lactose intolerant/vegan/gluten-sensitive, so I can't have certain
ingredients."
"I'd appreciate it if you could help me find something that fits my dietary
requirements."

Seeking Clarification:

"Could you explain how this dish is prepared or cooked?"

"Are there any potential cross-contamination issues I should be aware of?"
"Could you recommend dishes that are safe for someone with [specific dietary
need]?"
Expressing Gratitude:

"Thank you for checking on the ingredients for me."

"I really appreciate your help in finding suitable options."
"Thanks for making sure my dietary needs are taken into consideration."
