This Level 3 Allergen Management training course is aimed at all those responsible for the purchase, delivery, production and serving of food in the catering industry, as well as those who own or manage small catering businesses.
This course will provide candidates with knowledge relating to the control of food ingredients, including allergens, at all stages of food purchase and production, as well as the process for ensuring accurate ingredient information is available for customers at point of sale and service.
The topics covered by this course are regarded by the Food Standards Agency as being important to maintaining good practice in the production of safe food. Allergy UK also support the course, regarding it as suitable training for staff of catering businesses who wish to apply for the Allergy Aware Scheme.
