In Touch - Finding a safe meal
Burger King had to apologise after a staff member refused to read a brownie’s ingredients list to a blind woman with a nut allergy. So how should visually impaired people go about finding safe meals when eating certain foods has serious consequences?
UK Hospitality safety advisor Dr Lisa Ackerley, and Philippa Lomas, a blind mum of two children with severe food allergies, share their thoughts.
Descent Into Darkness by Simon Mahoney tells his sight loss story and is, he hopes, a companion guide for those going through similar.
He explains why he thinks getting registered sight impaired is important, how he deals with unwanted help, and introduces the term gratitude burn-out.
