I'll include "vegan" per Mo's earlier comments.
I don't think it make sense to solicit lists of allergies. My
legal spidey sense tingles at a potential liability issue there.
But I do agree if that information is readily available, we should
help point people to it.
This may be a situation best solved by a boilerplate statement like:
"We make our best effort to accommodate our attendees' dietary needs,
but we cannot address all possible options. If you have particular
restrictions or allergies, please contact the organizers directly."
