Allergen Awareness
Since the law changed, every food business must be able to tell customers exactly which of the 14 regulated allergens their dishes contain, and one mistake can be fatal. This course explains the difference between food allergies, intolerances and general allergies, works through the 14 allergens and where they hide, and covers the practical controls that prevent allergen incidents in a kitchen. It also looks at symptoms, why allergy rates are rising, and how to monitor your controls both internally and externally. Essential for anyone preparing or serving food, with a verified certificate of completion on passing.
