About the course

Our Allergens online activity has been designed to introduce learners to the rules and regulations around food labelling and catering in relation to food allergies and allergenic ingredients, including the often overlooked topic of allergens in drinks.  

Guiding learners through the different allergen risks in a food or drink operation, this up-to-date course reflects the most current legislation in allergen management and food labelling, including the upcoming legislative changes included in Natasha’s Law. The guidance in this course is suitable for team members of all levels working in any hospitality or retail setting.
