FOOD ALLERGIES AND
INTOLERANCES
Kusafiri’s kitchen facilities are operated by volunteer staff and all dietary requirements are catered for to the best of the Centre’s ability. We cannot guarantee food to be 100% free of any specific allergen. Guests with food allergies eat Kusafiri meals at their own risk.
Guests must notify Kusafiri of all dietary requirements at least two weeks in advance of their visit, or at the time of booking meals, whichever is earliest. Notification later than this may mean Kusafiri is not able to cater for the required special diet. In some cases, special diet meals may be offered only at an additional cost. Guests with severe and/or contact allergies must note this on their Passenger Manifest and be aware that we cannot guarantee that other guests will not bring allergens on to the Kusafiri site.
we strive to
- Use local products;
- Use fresh ingredients and where possible seasonal ingredients including plenty of fruit and vegetables;
- Use healthy methods of cooking and offer balanced meals;
- Cater to food allergies and intolerances;
- Cook international dishes as well as traditional Ghanaian dishes; and
- Serve and enjoy meals in buffet style.
