Henry & Co Dandenong Hospital Cafe
The official menu labels two items GF: a breakfast chia pudding and a banana bread slice with house-made citrus butter. A raw ball is also marked GF. All are pre-prepared items in a hospital cafe setting; no dedicated fryer, dedicated kitchen or stated cross-contamination protocols are mentioned. Best to confirm with staff that shared prep areas and utensils aren't a concern.

The menu labels a breakfast chia pudding and raw balls as vegan. Both are plant-based items, but there is no information about dedicated equipment or cross-contamination with non-vegan ingredients. The raw balls contain nuts; the chia pudding ingredients are not listed in the source. A vegan diner should ask about dairy cross-contact on shared surfaces.
Honest caveat: No kitchen practice or cross-contamination controls are described; other menu items are not marked vegan. Vegan-only options appear limited.

The official menu for the raw balls explicitly states 'contains nuts' in the description. No other nut disclosure appears on the menu pages. There is no statement about cross-contact protocols, dedicated equipment, or whether staff can advise on other nut-containing items. Anyone with a nut allergy should alert the kitchen and ask about shared surfaces.
Honest caveat: No disclosure about whether nuts are present in any form across the rest of the menu. Cross-contact not addressed.
Dairy-free

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.
The raw balls are described as 'dairy free' on the menu. The GF banana bread slice is served with house-made citrus butter, so it contains dairy. No cross-contact information or dedicated equipment is mentioned. A dairy-free diner can order the raw balls with confidence on ingredients but should ask about shared prep surfaces for other items.
Honest caveat: No kitchen practice or cross-contamination controls are described. The only item explicitly dairy-free is the raw ball.
