Description

Description

This Allergen Awareness course from Creative Learning Solutions will give you a series of ideas and guidelines on how to make sure that your establishment complies with the EU Food Information for Consumers (EU FIC) regulations. This is a legal requirement and will ensure that your customers are able to make informed choices when selecting what food to safely eat, but also that your consumers are not at risk of intolerance-related symptoms when consuming food served by your company. The Allergen Awareness course will guarantee that employees and employers are provided with an awareness of the different types of food allergies. Allergies and food intolerance is an issue that will always affect a percentage of consumers and is something that will need to be consistently observed and monitored. Whilst most food allergies aren’t always high-risk, it is important to remember that in some cases, a food allergy can be incredibly serious and even life-threatening to an individual. Therefore, it is imperative to reduce this risk by providing clear food content labels on packaging.
