Food Allergy Training and Allergen Control

Importance of Food Allergy Training

Food allergy training is crucial for effective allergen control in food service establishments. All staff members must understand the procedures for providing allergen information and serving allergen-free meals correctly.

Key Training Areas

  • Allergen Information: Staff should be knowledgeable about allergens and able to answer customer queries accurately.
  • Cross-Contamination Prevention: Training should focus on preventing cross-contamination during food preparation to avoid allergen exposure.
  • Ingredient Management: Allergen ingredients must be clearly recorded, labelled, and stored in original or clearly marked containers.
  • Recipe Documentation: Recipes containing allergens should be documented clearly, and all recipes should be reviewed and updated as needed.

Product specification sheets should be maintained and updated regularly to ensure accurate allergen information.
