Training Course Outline:

In the last two decades, the prevalence of allergic diseases have increased dramatically. It is estimated that over 220 million people worldwide have experienced reactions to food allergens. Lack of understanding of allergens hazards in the process of purchasing, storage, preparation ordering, and delivering of food products can lead to unwanted allergenic reactions for immunocompromised consumers. These were the main reasons for food legislation and significant food safety standard requirements change.

Allergens are now considered as one of the significant hazards. Steps in production need to be assessed for potential cross-contamination and verification methods need to be developed. All this needs to comply with legislation and food safety standard requirements which brings additional pressure for food operators and managers.

With this 4-hour training webinar, we offer you an easy and fast way to understand what allergens are, how cross-contamination can happen, ways to prevent it, to control it, and to develop a strong food safety system that can build the confidence of consumers.
