Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this course necessary?

In December 2014 EU law changes came into effect that change the way UK catering and food manufacturing must handle the issue of food allergens.

Specifically the changes target the identification of any of 14 named allergenic food ingredients, and state how they must be declared and communicated about to all customers or users of the foodstuffs as ingredients in their own products.

It’s therefore vital that staff, from chefs and managers to everyone communicating with customers understand their legal and professional responsibilities with regard to food allergens. This course seeks to address a fundamental lack of understanding of food allergies; how they affect sufferers, and how the issue should be handled by catering staff including those advising and serving customers, cooking and preparing the food, and those designing menus and ordering ingredients.
Who is this course for?

This course is specifically designed to address food allergy awareness in a professional catering or care environment. This includes staff in kitchens through to front-of-house staff and those where catering for or feeding of member of the public is part of their job.

If you are a catering worker this course will give you an understanding of your legal responsibilities, how to work with food allergens and communicate with customers and other colleagues to ensure that allergy sufferers remain safe while eating in your premises. It also includes some great First Aid advice that may save a customer’s life if something goes wrong.

If you are a Supervisor, owner or manager this course will provide you with practical advice on how to complete Ingredients Declarations correctly and legally, and covers communication with staff and customers to ensure you run a safe legally compliant catering operation with a strong Due Diligence defence position.
What organisations & experts are involved in this course?

This course has been designed by The Safer Food Group, leading independent providers in Food Safety training with over 60,000 learners per year in the catering, hospitality and care sectors).

Are there any limitations to this course?

It is important to note that this is a Level 2 course. While it intends to provide a basic grounding in the issues of food allergens/allergies, it is not comprehensive in terms of the range of specific food allergies covered. As such anyone involved in detailed menu or allergenic ingredient system planning should seek additional assistance/expertise if in any doubt. In addition the First Aid advice is offered as emergency guidance only and is not intended to replace the need for recognised accredited First Aid in the Workplace training/Paediatric First Aid training.
What are the key benefits of this course?
- Legal and practical awareness and understanding of food allergens
- Increased knowledge of (and compliance with) FSA/EHO rules
- More likelihood of a 5 Star Rating in FSA Premises Hygiene Rating System
- Improved employer’s Due Diligence defence

"SAFER ALLERGY AWARENESS"
I really enjoyed this course it is very informative. It's very easy to use. You can do it in your own time and at your own pace,the questions are multiple choice and easy to follow. There is alot of reading to start with but it's worth the time it takes. This is the second course i have done on line with this company. You also get your results straight away and you can print out your certificate instead of having to wait. I would like to do more online courses like this in the future. I would recommend this course and company to everyone.
