Given his age, things we've done with our sons is to have set rules about eating things outside of the house. It gives them clear steps to follow and a bit of knowledge to make them feel a bit more in control of their food allergies.
Some rules we have:
Don't rely on someone else to tell you if a food is safe or not.
If you can't read the ingredients on a package then don't eat it.
Don't eat things baked/made from someone else's house.
It is possible when you sense that your DS can talk about what happened, that you can reflect over the situation and think together about what to do differently in the future so that something like that doesn't happen again.
