Managing food allergens is everyone’s responsibility.
The National Allergy Council Food Service Project aims to support everyone working in food service to cater for people with food allergies, understanding that both the consumer and food service staff have responsibilities.
All about Allergens online training and the All about Allergens Resource Hub have been developed as part of this Project.
All about Allergens online training aims to provide accessible, standardised, best-practice education for people working in food service across different environments where food is provided. This includes cafes, restaurants and other food outlets, camps, schools and children's education and care, hospitals, aged care and other residential care settings.
The All about Allergens courses have been developed with the help of key stakeholders who work in different food service sectors.
Alongside the courses, a range of supporting resources are available to help all staff working in food service put appropriate food allergen management practices in place. These resources are available free of charge from the All about Allergens Resource Hub.
