1. An Effort to Protect the Health and Lives of
Diners
- An estimated 15 million Americans suffer
from food allergies.
- In Europe, around 17 million people are
allergic to at least one food type.
- An allergy-friendly menu, however, is a fairly
recent concept.

2. It’s the Law
It came to the fore as
recently as 2008. In that
year, New York's
Westchester County
enacted a new law.- It
required all commercial
kitchens to put up
posters of the top eight
food allergens.

4. Education and
Awareness through Food
Allergen Training
Education in safe food-handling
practices, or lack thereof, could
mean life or death for their patrons.
Food managers and handlers around
the United States, and indeed all
over the world, should therefore be
required to take a food allergen
course.

5. Enforcement and consciousness in the
Right Food Handing Techniques
The enforcement of safe food-handling practices has
become particularly urgent over the last few years as
there has been an increase in the number of restaurant
patrons suffering from allergic reactions caused by the
food they were served.
Health and safety consciousness in the food industry
has also been raised by a number of lawsuits filed on
behalf of people with food allergies.

Final Words
A report from the American Society for
Training and Development indicated that
investment in training can result in a 37
percent higher gross profit per employee.
Another study, conducted by Workforce™,
discovered that training leads to a decrease in
turnover, and thus, an increase in overall cost
savings. Investment in food allergy awareness
training is therefore beneficial not only for
customers but for your staff and business as
well.
