What is a food intolerance?
Food intolerance is much more common than food allergy, and is the less serious of the two conditions. Food intolerance is an exaggerated or abnormal physical reaction to a food or food additive (such as an artificial colourings or preservatives) that does not involve an immune reaction. A chemical deficiency in the body is usually the cause of the problem. It has nothing to do with food allergy because the reaction does not involve the body’s immune system. Wimpy is glad to bring you a Nutritional Analysis brochure that is available at your local Wimpy. It indicates which Wimpy menu items that are free of lactose and gluten, as well as added MSG and tartrazine.
