Enjoying a meal at work is a common human experience. But when an employee is left out due to an invisible disability — a dietary restriction — or a lifestyle practice that involves food and beverage they can feel hurt, unappreciated, threatened, and even unsafe. Now more than ever, a growing number of individuals maintain special diets for medical, health, and/or religious reasons.
◾️ 1 in 10 US adults has a food allergy
◾️ 1 in 133 has celiac disease and 1-13% have non-celiac gluten-intolerance
◾️ 52% Americans followed an eating pattern/diet in the past year
◾️ 40% have diabetes or pre-diabetes
◾️ 33% follow a religious-based diet on a daily or weekly basis
So, how do you go about providing food options that are safe and inclusive — attributes critical for employee well-being and belonging?
When employees/attendees feel appreciated, respected, and know that their needs are being met, they feel more compelled to participate fully and make a difference.

Well, you’re in the right place. I'm Tracy, and after 30+ years of experience as an event planner and 10+ as a food inclusion expert, I’ve developed a reputation for being the go-to-resource for event organizers as well as HR and DEI managers who want a no-fluff approach to creating delicious food and beverage experiences that build a culture of well-being, helping to promote a more satisfied, more productive and loyal workforce.
I do this work because I believe that every guest matters and every meal matters. When we provide food and beverage experiences that are safe and inclusive...we encourage connections, increase wellbeing, and create a happier and healthier world.
