Be very careful not to have anything "hidden" that is a common allergen, such as peanuts or tree nuts or shellfish. Remember that many people do not eat meat for one reason or other. If an item has ingredients that are not apparent to the naked eye, LABEL the ingredients ("This cookie contains nuts," for example, or "These biscuit-bites contain sausage.")
