    I am planning on bringing some pots of chili to the spring picnic. The recipies call for onions and peppers amongst other ingredients. Would it be a good idea to label the pots with warnings for anyone who has an allergy to such ingredients? If so, what are some common allergies to be aware of and label? So far I can think of onions and green peppers.

    That’s a good idea! While you are labeling it would be a good idea to mention if there is pork in the chili as well. Most people use beef, but pork is a dietary/religious issue for some. I can’t think of any other potentially allergy causing ingredients.

    Some chili powders aren’t gluten free as sometimes it it cut with wheat as a thicken agent.  And that is also a very important allergy/health issue related to food that isn’t always clear from the outside.

    The most common food allergies are wheat, soy, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, peanuts and tree nuts.
    (Not necessarily in that order, that’s just the order I remembered them in)

    The biggest thing to look out for in chili is what Tyrell and Mouring said: pork (if you use it, for diet/religious reasons), and wheat (especially if you’re using a premade spice mix). But it wouldn’t hurt to label all ingredients.
