A cook prepares a dish for a guest with a wheat allergy. Which ingredient must be avoided because it contains wheat?
a.White rice
b.Regular flour tortillas
c.Corn tortillas
d.Plain grilled chicken
Explanation
Regular flour tortillas are made from wheat flour and must be avoided for a wheat-allergic guest, while corn tortillas, plain grilled chicken, and white rice are wheat-free. Managers should teach staff which menu items and substitutions are safe. Reading labels and recipes helps catch hidden wheat in breading, sauces, and thickeners too.
