For those who suffer from certain food allergies, dining out at fast food restaurants can be a challenge.

One chain in Japan is taking measures to provide options for such customers. From October 1st, Kentucky Fried Chicken Japan has a new chicken meal set specially designed to be low in the seven common food allergens (as defined by Japan's Food Sanitation Law, the JAS Law and Health Promotion Act), namely egg, dairy, wheat, buckwheat, peanut, shrimp and crab.

For the low price of 600 JPY (tax included), you can get a set containing the following:

• 1 piece of boneless chicken
• 1 bread made with rice flour

You can even make a sandwich out of the chicken and the bread or eat them separately, as you wish. The banana bread is made with banana puree and has a fluffy consistency which you'll surely enjoy.
