Food Allergens

Are your day to day practices achieving food allergen safety?

You will have trained your team and have systems in place to support any guest with allergies, but this can be a complex process and you must be able to ensure that these critical steps are followed diligently, every time.

Allergen complaints and incidents are increasing and consequently, so is the risk of causing illness, anaphylaxis or a fatality. Such an event will almost certainly result in significant financial and reputational damage if not a prosecution.

Using our scenario-based assessment method, we can show you where to focus your training, improve your procedures and ensure you can show that food allergen best practices are in place, are working and being appraised.

How does it work?

Resolve your staff knowledge gaps with confidence

Using our scenario-based assessment method, we can show you where to focus your training, improve your procedures and ensure you can show that food allergen best practices are in place, are working and being appraised.

The assessment will take your staff through a series of scenario based questions, testing their knowledge and understanding of allergen safety. Crucially, the assessment isn’t just measuring whether people can recall what they have been told, it tests how confidently, accurately and consistently they will apply it in real life.

Cognisco's approach to safety critical competency management is trusted by some of the world’s largest brands, government bodies and senior leaders.
