The Food Allergen Awareness Level 2 training is essential for the whole team.

This food allergen awareness course will give them the knowledge and competence to be able to prepare and serve food that is safe to eat.

Labelling rules in European Directives 2003/89/EC and 2006/142/EC ensure that all consumers are given comprehensive ingredient listing information and make it easier for people with food allergies to identify ingredients they need to avoid. Training your team in food allergen awareness could make the difference between life, death or serious illness for your customers. Every year there are 4,500 hospital admissions and around 10 deaths from food allergy. Allergen information Law (The Food Information Regulations 2014) dictates the way you give information on 14 allergens if they’re included in the food you sell.

There will be a test at the end of the course consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions – which has a pass rate of 14 or more. A Certificate of Training and a copy of  The Food Safety Handbook will be issued on completion of the course.
