Chantal Releases Allergy Conscious Cookware

Chantal, led by Founder Heida Thurlow since 1971, is introducing a new line of cookware  dedicated to the needs of families who live with food allergies. The line is called AllergenWare™ and is available now.

An increasing number of people of all ages worldwide suffer from a food allergy or food intolerance. One way to combat this issue in the home is to have a separate cookware set to use when preparing foods that contains allergens. With this in mind, Chantal has developed AllergenWare to help families easily identify their allergen-free cookware from their other cookware. AllergenWare is made of non-porous nickel free stainless steel and is banded in bright purple. Many other cooking surfaces are porous and allow food particles to remain behind even after washing. This can be dangerous for a person with food allergies. The color purple is commonly used in commercial kitchens to identify allergy-free cooking tools.

“Last year we learned of the growing need for food allergy awareness in the kitchen,” said Thurlow. “It is a serious issue, and we are proud to launch a collection of items that will address the needs of families who struggle with this every day. As health has always been a focus for Chantal’s product development, AllergenWare is a natural addition to our existing product assortment.”
