️ Essential phrase (show to staff):

Lūdzu, ņemiet vērā, ka man nepieciešams ēdiens, kas ir pilnībā bez glutēna. Maize un ēdieni nedrīkst saturēt nekādas rudzu, kviešu, miežu vai auzu daļiņas. Ja pastāv risks, ka ēdiens vai produkti var saturēt kaut nelielu daudzumu šo sastāvdaļu, vai piesārņojums var notikt ēdiena gatavošanas procesā, šis ēdiens man nav piemērots. Ja neesat pārliecināti par kādu sastāvdaļu, jautājiet man.

English translation:
Please note, I need food that is completely gluten-free. Bread and dishes must not contain any traces of rye, wheat, barley, oats. If there is a risk that meal or products may contain even a small amount gluten, or there may happen cross-contamination, the meal is not suitable for me. If not sure on any product used, please ask me.
