Allergen Accreditation

Allergies are on the increase; indeed they have risen sharply over the last 20 years for reasons that are unclear. Around 1 in 100 people suffer with coeliac disease.  With children under the age of 3- one in 14 has one or more food allergies.  Whereas children do grow out of some allergies some 4 out of 5 children with peanut allergies continue this into adult life. It is established practice that foods and beverages that are packaged detail ingredients as well as highlight, or separately detail, allergens that are included in the product.

Since December 2014, the law has changed regarding food outlets and allergens. Your business could be fined if you do not comply to allergy legislation.
Allergen Accreditation helping you comply

“This is the step by step process that has been designed to assist any type of catering and hospitality business in the UK and EU to comply with the new EU FIC 1169/2011 Law from 13th December 2014 and meet the needs of consumers with allergies. The Food Standards Agency welcomes initiatives like this to achieve greater understanding of food allergens and how to provide allergen information to the consumer to help them make safer food choices.”
