Not to everyone, not for frivolous complaints, no. But this isn't frivolous: you have a food intolerance, you took reasonable care (as any court would, I'm sure, find) to avoid a particular foodstuff, and their (for suitable values of them) actions negated your care.

I don't blame the canteen, they cannot go through every sandwich to check for everything. But they have the responsibility, even if in this case they quire sensibly subcontract to Daily Bread.

As for Daily Bread, they do need to be informed. Good companies actually do value complaints, they really do, because it lets them know what they need to do to be better. If they get complaints, but only minor ones, then they know there isn't a huge problem about to sink them, because their customers would already have told them.

In this case, something went wrong with their system, probably somebody adding something to the recipe that shouldn't have been there. It could have been so much worse - imagine adding peanuts to the sauce, and getting a nut allergy sufferer.

Hear hear.

Although I remember complaining about an egg mayo sandwich that had tuna in it (they'd obviously used the same knife to make tuna, then egg sarnies) and I was told "You can EXPECT tuna in an egg sandwich" followed by "it's dolphin friendly..."

But if you plan to eat there again, or have no choice but to do so, you really ought to complain and CC any related supplier etc. until you get noticed.
