Uno de los problemas alimenticios más comunes en la actualidad son las alergias e intolerancias. Numerosos estudios apuntan que en la actualidad están creciendo estos casos de problemas alimenticios, respecto a hace unos años, y se espera que en los próximos años aumente aún más.
Es cierto que los cambios en nuestra forma de vida y de alimentación tienen mucho que ver en esto:
Todos estos hábitos nuevos han conseguido que nuestro cuerpo reaccione ante algunos alimentos generando una alergia o una intolerancia. Pero, ¿sabes cuál es la diferencia?
La alergia, es la respuesta del sistema inmune ante el alimento o factor concreto que causa una reacción en el cuerpo. Esta reacción, dependiendo del grado de alergia, puede ser más grave, como una reacción anafiláctica, o menos, como diarreas, dolor intestinal, picor en la garganta…
Por otro lado, la intolerancia ocurre cuando nuestro cuerpo no tolera correctamente un alimento o alguno de sus componentes. Normalmente la reacción de nuestro cuerpo ante la intolerancia suelen ser problemas intestinales, como diarrea, dolor abdominal, vómitos…
Para las personas que padecen estas dolencias es cada vez más complicado disfrutar de una comida o una cena fuera de casa. Es por eso, que para facilitar la comunicación entre los restaurantes y los comensales, la Unión Europea introdujo hace unos años (desde 2011) una ley, donde obliga a los restaurantes a que en su carta tengan identificados los principales grupos de alérgenos, para que los comensales puedan disfrutar de la comida sin problemas.
La carta de alérgenos se refiere a que dentro de la misma carta o menú del restaurante se indica con iconos, para que de forma visual y a la vez estética, sea fácil de reconocer por los comensales que contiene el plato, a través de los principales grupos de alérgenos.
En estos grupos encontramos 14 grupos principales que reúnen los principales ingredientes que más alergias o intolerancias causan a la población.
Cereales o alimentos que contengan gluten. Estos alimentos pueden ser: trigo, espelta, centeno, cebada, espelta, kamut… derivados o incluso híbridos de estos alimentos junto a otros.
Este grupo incluye almendras, avellanas, anacardos, nueces y todas sus variedades y derivados de estos frutos secos o que los contengan.
Este grupo se refiere a las gambas, langostinos, centollos, carabineros, cangrejos… En resumen, una gran parte de mariscos incluidas trazas de estos alimentos, esto se refiere a partículas de estos alimentos que llegan hasta el plato de forma involuntaria o casual, se puede deber a que en la misma cocina están presentes estos alimentos y de forma involuntaria llegan al plato.
Almejas, langostinos, centollos, carabineros, cangrejos, cigalas… y sus trazas o productos derivados de estos.
El huevo o alimentos derivados o que lo contengan.
Todo tipo de pescado, excluyendo la gelatina de pescado, que se utiliza como ingrediente de algunos alimentos, como el vino o la cerveza.
Los cacahuetes o alimentos que contengan o incluso trazas de este ingrediente.
Alimentos que contengan soja o producidos con soja, a excepción de aceites o grasas de soja refinados al 100%.
Aunque sea sin lactosa, y productos derivados o fabricados con leche.
Alimentos que contengan estos sulfitos en más de 10 mg/kg o Litro.
Alimentos que contengan estos ingredientes o trazas de ellos: Sésamo, apio, mostaza y atramuces.
En el Asador City Wok de Alfafar, tenemos nuestra carta identificada para que nuestros clientes puedan identificar de forma fácil los alimentos y puedan disfrutar sin ningún tipo de problema de toda nuestra carta.
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
