This Course at a Glance

Food allergies affect 1-2% of adults and 5-8% of children in the United Kingdom, which equates to around 2 million people. Furthermore, every year, roughly 10 people in the United Kingdom die from allergic reactions to food caused by unreported or unidentified allergenic substances. As the number of people with allergies keeps increasing every year, it's more vital than ever for the employees to be aware of the potential severity of allergic reactions as well as the importance of providing clear and accurate information about the substances used in their food products.

When a person's immune system becomes hypersensitive to particular substances, such as foods, pollen, drugs, or bee venom, an allergic reaction occurs. The majority of allergy sufferers, on the other hand, come from families with a history of allergies or other connected issues. This Allergen Awareness Training Course focuses on food allergies, which develop when the immune system of the body reacts abnormally to certain foods.

This extensive Allergen Awareness Training Course provides valuable insight into the potential causes and symptoms of allergies.
