Managing dietary requirements has become more complex over recent years with medical, religious and lifestyle dietary requirements being received from an increasing number of attendees.

Event planners must take particular care recording and safeguarding data about dietary requirements:
- While some are simply preferences, in other cases food allergies can be life-threatening.
- Under data protection regulations, dietary requirements are considered 'special category personal data' since they may indicate a person's religion (and therefore ethnicity) or health status.

This topic covers the tools available in EventsAir for managing dietary requirements. You can create a standardized library of dietary requirements, select which of these are available for specific events, record attendee's requests during registration, and share the information securely with caterers and venues.
