About this course

Allergen training for food production teams

Production lines are the focus of this 2-3-hour course. It covers allergen risks in manufacturing, cross-contamination prevention and the documentation used in allergen control plans. Labelling, including ‘may contain’ statements, and responding to allergen incidents are separate syllabus topics. The intended audience includes factory staff, quality controllers and production managers.

This is a focused allergen course within the manufacturing catalogue. Food Hygiene Level 2 for Manufacturing covers the wider production-hygiene syllabus, including cleaning, temperature control and GMP.

For roles centred on preparing or serving food to customers, compare Allergen Awareness and Food Intolerances, which includes customer communication. The allergen training guide provides further background and already distinguishes the manufacturing course from the hospitality option.
