Exactly. What's so difficult about bringing a sandwich, or salad, yogurt, fruit, etc, in an insulated lunch bag/box with a blue ice thing? If you like hot food, just put your soup or pasta or whatever in a thermos. It's worked for people forever. I used to be a meter reader out in the field all day and just kept my lunch cooler in the truck. If it's a life threatening allergy, I would never eat in a restaurant that I didn't trust. And always carry your epi-pen if you have a life threatening allergy.

I don't think you legally have any recourse if that's what you're trying to get at. It's mostly teens working at these places so they probably don't care as much. If your allergies are that bad it's up to you to check and double check or don't eat out! Sorry, but that's the facts.
I've noticed some places tell me wrong information about whether an item contains an allergen. I've been a close second away from eating something I'm not supposed to. What saved me is double checking and asking the staff again.
If I make the mistake of eating something I'm allergic to, due to their store's carelessness, whats the recourse in this situation?
There are limits to liability. Error is not always "negligence" and "negligence" has to be both proven and egregious.
Buy a small cooler and several packs of blue ice. Make your own lunch and snacks, grab water bottles and blue ices and pack that cooler. I'd suggest a insulated lunch bag, but if you're outside, an insulated lunch bag won't work as well as a real cooler. The small igloo playmate cooler costs around 20 bucks and holds a 6 pack, so it could hold a sandwich, cut up veggies and fruit and a couple of bottles of water.

Very easy answer; don't go back there. Everyone with a food allergy knows to be prepared when eating out, even when the chef says that there are no allergens present. One just never knows.
BTW - if your food allergy is that severe why put your life in the hands of strangers?
Lol, I will never understand people who do this...
