Course Syllabus

  • Introduction

    This unit provides an introduction to the Allergen Awareness course, outlining the course structure and how the rest of the units cover the course content.


  • Introduction to Food Allergies

    We begin the course with a look at the scale of food allergies and food hypersensitivity. This unit also provides an overview of food allergy symptoms and anaphylaxis.


  • Food Intolerances

    Now it is time to look at food intolerances. By the end of this unit, you will have a good understanding of coeliac disease, allergens and hidden allergens so you'll be well equipped for the rest of the course and beyond.


  • Legislation and Labelling Regulations

    We will look at food legislation and how it is enforced, as well as the different food types, ingredient listing, and the consequences of poor allergen management.


  • Safe Catering Environments

    We are now on the final unit of this Allergen Awareness course. We'll explore food safety management systems, allergen ingredient recording, types of cross contamination, food preparation and storage, and transporting food to the customer, as well as checklists for managers, kitchen staff, service staff, and delivery and takeaway orders.
