By law, food handlers are required to recognize the 14 major food allergens and understand the importance of carefully managing foods that contain them. Our Allergen Training Course provides learners with essential knowledge about the differences between food allergies and intolerances, the symptoms of allergic reactions, the 14 allergens, and the common products that contain them. The course also covers the operator’s responsibilities, the required information for pre-packed food labels, and key considerations for keeping customers safe.

This course is designed for food handlers and anyone involved in the food industry, including those working in food production, packaging, distribution, processing, food retail, or catering.

Since there are currently no cures for food allergies or intolerances, and some reactions can be life-threatening, ensuring your employees are properly trained can protect both your company legally and your customers’ health.
