Mustard-Free Festival Food Survival Guide

Festivals are a feast for the senses—until hidden mustard threatens your safety. For those with mustard allergies or sensitivities, navigating food stalls can feel like dodging landmines. Mustard hides in unexpected places, from marinades to vinaigrettes, turning celebratory bites into serious risks. Arm yourself with these strategies and tech-powered tools for worry-free feasting.

Mustard's Sneaky Hiding Spots

Watch for these common culprits at festival stalls:

• Sauces & Dressings: Barbecue sauce, honey mustard, aiolis, salad dressings
• Marinated Meats: Pre-marinated skewers, sausages, or grilled items often contain mustard powder
• Seasonings & Rubs: Spice blends used on fries, roasted nuts, or popcorn
• Pre-made Salads: Potato salad, coleslaw, deviled eggs
• Veggie Burgers/Sausages: Many use mustard as a binding agent

5 Must-Know Festival Survival Strategies

1. Interrogate Vendors: Ask specifically about mustard powder, seeds, paste, or “spices” in sauces. Request ingredient lists.
2. Bring Backup: Pack sealed safe snacks like fruit cups or allergen-free bars for emergencies.
3. Spot Red Flags: Avoid anything battered, breaded, or described as “tangy” or “spiced” without clarification.
4. Wash Hands Frequently: Cross-contact on communal tables or condiment stations is common.
5. Carry Emergency Meds: Always have epinephrine auto-injectors accessible.
