FDQ Managing Food Allergens in Manufacturing Course

This 1-day course is designed for those responsible for designing, implementing, and auditing allergen management systems. It covers essential aspects of allergen control in food manufacturing, including labelling legislation, allergen risk assessment, controlling allergens in the food process, allergen testing methods, and verification of the allergen management system.

Anyone responsible for designing, implementing, and auditing allergen management systems should attend. This includes Quality Assurance, Food Safety or HACCP teams, or those with technical roles within the food industry. An understanding of food safety for food manufacturing would be beneficial.

The course is delivered face-to-face at the training centre in Skipton, North Yorkshire, UK, or remotely online. No formal qualifications are required, but an understanding of food safety for food manufacturing would be beneficial.

Participants will understand what an allergy is and which foods are classed as allergens. They will learn the need to control food allergens on-site and how to achieve this, including how to avoid cross-contamination.

There is a short multiple-choice test at the end of the day. Successful candidates will achieve the FDQ Practical Allergen Awareness Certificate, demonstrating their understanding of allergen control in food manufacturing.

The course fee is £330 +VAT per person or £630 +VAT for 2 people. The fee includes a course binder and notes, lunch and refreshments for classroom courses, exam fee, and FDQ certificate.

The course covers food allergens and their responsible management, labelling legislation, standards requirements, allergen risk assessment, controlling allergens from supplier to delivery, allergen testing methods, and verification of the allergen management system.
