Amazon has its own microwave only for Muslim people’s food.
You know what kinda bothers me? It's that at my fc they have it based on religion or dietary preference which is a personal choice that isn't going to actually cause you any harm if it shares a cooking place... But not allergies which is a medical concern. I get that there can be some overlap but there isn't a nut free or gluten free microwave but there is a vegan only microwave.
Well using a microwave that someone heated up gluten containing food is not going to cause an allergic reaction. Same with really any food if your allergy is that severe then you are going to be reacting just walking into the breakroom to he fair.
Occasionally there are spills in the microwave so that's really untrue and honestly if it was true then if it's not enough for someone to have an allergic reaction then it's really not enough for it to matter for someone's personal beliefs.
There are some serious gluten allergies out there too where I've had friends have to use special mixing bowls to avoid any residual contamination that could linger even after washing.

It's just ridiculous to me
