Food Allergen Awareness Course Written Line by Line Against Irish Law
For some customers a trace of an allergen triggers anaphylaxis, which is life threatening. Accurate allergen information is a safety duty, not a labelling formality, and it falls on whoever is standing in front of the customer. This Food Allergen Awareness Course is written line by line against that law, so the certificate you download at the end stands up in a real inspection instead of just looking good in a folder.
This is the allergen course Irish catering and retail teams trust, because it is built around the questions customers actually ask. Every scenario is acted out on video, so the right answer is obvious under pressure.

The three rules that shape your training
-
Regulation (EU) 1169/2011
Fourteen allergens must be declared
The Regulation names the 14 allergens that have to be identified, and requires them to be emphasised in the ingredients list on prepacked food.
-
2014 Regulations
In writing, legible, before purchase
For non prepacked food sold in Ireland the information must be in writing, readily accessible at the point of sale and available before the food is bought. Telling a customer verbally is not enough on its own.
-
Regulation (EC) 852/2004
Staff have to be trained for their role
The food business operator must ensure staff are supervised, instructed and trained appropriately, and allergen control has to be built into the HACCP based procedures.
