This Food Allergy Awareness Training course is designed to help learners identify the fourteen particular food allergens which must, by law, be recognised and to understand why foods containing allergens must be handled carefully.
Our Food Allergy Awareness course has been updated to include everything you need to know and comply with Natasha’s Law PPDS regulations. Natasha’s Law came into effect on 1st October 2021, the training also includes all the latest legislation and guidance around food allergens.
This allergen training course is aimed at food handlers and anyone working in a role that involves contact with food, or the management of such people. Learners are introduced to the fourteen common food allergens and the importance of handling food containing allergens carefully.
Currently, there are no known cures for food allergies and intolerances. Some consumers have to avoid certain foods and ingredients at all costs to prevent reactions, which in some cases can prove life-threatening. Some carry EpiPens in case of an adverse reaction – if food business workers know how to use these, lives could potentially be saved.
It is therefore vital that food handlers undergo food allergy training so they are aware of the potential triggers for allergic reactions, know how to keep the customers they are catering for as safe as possible, and have an understanding of what could be the safest food group to offer to them as an alternative.
The material is provided in an interactive format that is designed to be engaging and accessible. A basic knowledge of food hygiene will mean learners progress quickly, but the course is designed for anyone working in the service or hospitality sectors and should be suitable for any staff member to give them the knowledge needed to work effectively and safely.
This allergen training course is for anyone who owns, manages or works in a food-related business as they need to make sure their operations are compliant with EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation No.1169/2011 / Food Information for Consumers Regulation (FIC) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No. 78 / 2014 amending Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1169 / 2011.
The Food Allergy Awareness Training Course is therefore suitable for food handlers, as well as those with a role that involves contact with food, or managing workers who do.
