Allergen Accreditation for Addison Primary School | Eden Foodservice, part of Interserve, Addison Primary School was audited on Monday 13th July 2015.  The audit was an opportunity to review Eden Foodservices’ allergen management against the EU FIC regulations and The Industry Professional Allergen Standard from Allergen Accreditation.

 

Allergen Accreditation Success

 

The audit was a complete success and involved a detailed survey of the back of house stores, preparation and the front of house serving systems and communication mechanisms for their customers.

Eden had successfully achieved 100% in the 54 interrogation areas including systems for Assisted Customers who need support in their food choices.

The school caters for many allergen and intolerant customers and what really impressed the audit team was the sheer effort of making sure that these dietary needs were being met in a professional manner.  Certain children have their own meals specially prepared and the chef, Angela, explained how this was achieved with great enthusiasm.

Eden’s systems and procedures were excellent and written evidence was examined on their individual food care plans for those with allergies, demonstrating industry best practice.

Communications with school personnel were also strongly evident and this reflects the best method of allergen management, i.e. continuous dialogue and working together.

Congratulations to Angela, the operations team and all at the school as well as Amy Glass- Eden’s nutritionist who has been a pleasure to work with!

Angela Campbell, Catering Manager at Addison Primary:

"I am really proud that we are the first Eden Catering Team to achieve the Allergen Accreditation. We cook 400 meals a day and cater for eight pupils with different special diets, so it is really important to us to make sure that we cater for these pupils safely. We take the time to get to know the pupils who have allergies and intolerance's and always prepare and store their dishes separately. The colour coded menus provided by the Eden Nutrition Team are really helpful, as these show us which dishes are safe for the pupils and any recipes which need to be altered. I was a bit nervous during the audit but am really happy that we had everything in place and were able to answer all the questions from the auditor."
