Allergen Awareness Course Overview

Food allergies affect 1-2% of adults and 5-8% of children in the United Kingdom, which equates to around 2 million people. Furthermore, every year, roughly 10 people in the United Kingdom die from allergic reactions to food caused by unreported or unidentified allergenic substances. As the number of people with allergies keeps increasing every year, it's more vital than ever for the employees to be aware of the potential severity of allergic reactions as well as the importance of providing clear and accurate information about the substances used in their food products.

When a person's immune system becomes hypersensitive to particular substances, such as foods, pollen, drugs, or bee venom, an allergic reaction occurs. The majority of allergy sufferers, on the other hand, come from families with a history of allergies or other connected issues. This Allergen Awareness Training Course focuses on food allergies, which develop when the immune system of the body reacts abnormally to certain foods.

This extensive Allergen Awareness Training Course provides valuable insight into the potential causes and symptoms of allergies. It further explains the fundamental differences between general allergies, food allergies, and food intolerances. This course will teach you how to comply with UK allergen rules, including how to identify which foods usually cause allergic reactions and how to mark them on food products in accordance with the EU Food Information for Consumers (FIC) Regulation. It then goes on to discuss practical procedures that may be taken to lower the risk of allergens, as well as how to monitor the control measures both internally and externally.

Upon successful completion of this Allergen Awareness Training Course, you will be capable of handling food-related emergencies and confident enough in advising consumers on which foods to avoid.
