The Level 3 Award in Food Allergen Competent Person qualification has been designed to meet the new EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation 1169/2011, which came into place on the 13th December 2014.
The law requires consumers to be given correct information on food allergens, therefore it is important that staff receive the appropriate training to competently provide adequate advice to protect consumers in accordance with their legal obligations. It now not sufficient for such establishments to simply declare they are unaware whether a product contains potential allergens (14 allergens are listed under the regulation).
Failure of food businesses to provide accurate information could result in enforcement action by the local authority environmental health department and charges of criminal proceedings taken in the courts.
