It can be a matter of life and death for certain individuals to purchase food products, or eat in cafés and restaurants. When they ask "is this free from nuts?" They need a positive answer. It must be nut free if it says it is. This places responsibility on food production to guard against contamination, and knowledge to ensure that if asked, staff would know all 14 named allergens and if they were present in the food they were producing, preparing, or selling. To achieve this, they must receive excellent training, to perform to the standards that are set by management. This allergen awareness course will help all your staff to achieve the highest standards.

Changes to food labelling have been applied. from December 13th 2014. This legislation has required changes to all labels to enable customers make clear choices about the foods they eat.
