Food hypersensitivity - such as food allergy, food intolerance and coeliac disease - is an adverse reaction to food that can cause unpleasant and sometimes life-threatening symptoms.
This training is intended for use by food businesses to understand more about food hypersensitivities and the legal requirements that must be complied with when providing food and allergen information to consumers.
Building on our Online Allergy Training, this advanced course offers an in depth look at allergen management in catering. It can be taken independently, with no need to complete the basic training first.
Originally developed by the Greater Gwent Food Group, Food Standards Agency, and Trading Standards Wales, it has been adapted by Food Standards Scotland. The video resources used within this training were developed by Lancashire County Council Trading Standards and Hyndburn Borough Council Environmental Health.
