Food Allergens Awareness Level 2

Keen to brush up on your knowledge of food allergens? Are you familiar with the most common allergens and how to avoid cross contamination?

Our Food Allergens course has been carefully designed by a team of knowledgeable experts to increase awareness and expand your knowledge of allergies and intolerances. Consumers must be well informed about their choices and staff are legally obliged to provide customers with detailed information regarding ingredients in food and beverages. Our course will enrich your knowledge and offer practical steps to eliminating risks when preparing, or serving food and drink.

Allergies are unfortunately uncurable, so prevention is key; they also vary in severity and for some consumers, even a trace amount of an allergen can result in a potentially life-threatening reaction.

All food handlers are legally responsible for ensuring the food they manufacture, sell and/or serve is safe for human consumption. The emphasis on this has even more significance when providing food to people with food allergies, or intolerances.

The Food Allergens Level 2 course follows the format of an interactive slide show and has been divided into 4 manageable sections. Putting your newly acquired knowledge to the test, you will be presented with some multiple-choice questions at the end of each section that you must answer before progressing further.

The questions are to prepare you for the final ‘End of Course’ quiz, where you will need to answer a minimum of 7/10 questions correctly to pass the course and receive your certificate in PDF format. Should you fail the quiz, you can re-take it as many times as necessary until you do pass.

Course Content

The course consists of 3, easy to follow modules…
