Food Allergen Awareness

For everyone who prepares, serves or sells food, from kitchens and restaurants to shops, schools, hospitals, camps and galleys. Learn how food allergy, intolerance and coeliac disease differ, how to recognise a severe reaction and get help, the 14 allergens regulated in the United Kingdom and the European Union and how other countries differ, where allergens hide, and how to stop cross-contact and handle a customer's request safely. You receive a certificate of completion from iCompetent; it is awareness training, not a regulated food safety or allergen qualification.
