Food Allergy Awareness - Target Audience

Millions of people in the UK are affected by a food allergy, which makes safely eating food difficult for them. For some, even a small amount of a certain food can cause a severe and potentially fatal allergic reaction. To help allergy sufferers avoid unnecessary harm, it is essential that food handlers understand allergens and allergenic cross-contamination.

Also, the Food Information Regulations 2014 require food businesses to provide allergen information with the food they produce. Specifically, businesses must indicate which of the 14 allergens are present in the food they produce and communicate this correctly. They must also have good food safety measures in place to prevent the cross-contamination of allergens.

This food allergen awareness course will explore what causes food allergies and how to manage them. It also covers communicating allergen information and Natasha's Law, an important upcoming change to allergen legislation. It is suitable for anyone working in a catering and retail environment, such as:

Restaurants, cafes and coffee shops.
Supermarkets.
Takeaways.
Bakeries and butchers.
Food markets/stalls.

We have a tailored food allergy online training course for those working in a manufacturing environment.

Food Allergy Awareness - Course Overview

Overview

All food businesses must have a food safety management system in place to make sure the food they produce is safe. This system is also required to comply with food safety legislation such as the Food Safety Act 1990.

An effective food safety management system must contain information on allergens and detail the measures required to control allergenic cross-contamination. It must also detail the measures required to protect its customers from experiencing allergic reactions. This is important to avoid any potential legal, financial and moral repercussions.

After completing this allergen training course, learners will understand:

The different forms of food hypersensitivity are, along with their symptoms and causes.
The 14 main allergens are and how they are used in food.
Food information legislation and how allergen information must be provided for prepacked and non-prepacked foods.
Precautionary allergen labelling and when it is used.
How allergenic cross-contamination occurs.
The measures that must be taken while preparing and storing food to minimise allergenic cross-contamination.

Further Training

For further food safety training, consider our Level 2 Food Safety for Catering or Level 2 Food Safety for Retail courses. Both of these courses cover the information required to maintain good food hygiene and safety practices at work. We also offer a HACCP Principles training course, designed to help businesses create an effective food safety management system.

Duration

It takes approximately 1 hour to complete the course in full. This can be spread out over multiple sessions or completed in a single session. There is no time limit for completion.

Assessment

All candidates must complete a multiple choice assessment after working through the training material. The candidate will be asked 16 multiple choice questions and need to answer a minimum of 12 correctly to pass. Candidates will be given instant feedback after completing the assessment stating whether they have passed or failed. The assessment can be retaken as many times as is required to pass at no additional cost.
