Other criteria

In addition to ensuring all foods are lacto-vegetarian, we commit to the following.

• Where possible, Otarian foods are free from genetically modified (GM) ingredients.
• Where possible, Otarian foods are free from irradiated ingredients.
• Otarian foods are free from added trans fat.  They contain only naturally occurring trans fat that is found in small amounts in dairy foods.
• Otarian does not use peanuts or nuts in any menu item, and all of our premises are nut free.  However, we cannot guarantee that our ingredients suppliers operate nut-free environments, so we urge caution to customers with severe peanut and nut allergies.
• Where possible, Otarian foods do not contain common allergens.  We have paid particular attention to ensuring we avoid ingredients containing wheat and gluten, when it is not a requirement.
• We select our fresh produce for flavour and appearance to encourage customers to increase their consumption of fruit and vegetables.
