Allergen Control Checklist

Allergen control is an essential part of any food safety management system. With the rising presence of allergic reactions in the media, you can't afford to get this wrong, which is why the allergen control checklist is critical for ensuring you effectively separate and label the allergens you handle.

Environmental health officers will check how your sesame seeds, celery and the other 12 allergens are labelled, focusing on measures for allergen cross-contamination control. To pass your EHO check with flying colours and get that 5* food hygiene rating (Scores on the doors) you'll need to label these correctly and ideally have separate areas/utensils for certain allergens such as nuts.
