Course aims:
The course is designed principally for those who are, or intend to be, food handlers. A food handler is any person, in any type of food business, who handles food, whether open or packaged (food includes drinks and ice).
The way allergens are labelled on pre–packed foods is changing be- cause of new regulations. The Food Information Regulation, which came into force in December 2014, introduces a requirement that food businesses need to provide information about the allergenic ingredients used in any food they sell or provide.
