1. Requires all establishments with a restaurant license to display the approved allergen awareness poster in the staff area (kitchen) and

Provides a seven percent discount on the restaurant/catering license fee if the establishment has an allergen trained person on staff at all times and they have an Allergic Customer Alert Process.

Always Food Safe’s ANSI accredited training is perfect for anyone working within this industry. The training will provide the essentials of food allergies and then explain how to utilize policies and procedures to make sure all customers can eat safely in your foodservice establishment.

It will allow you to understand how to deal with a customer with a food allergy from the moment they enter the establishment until they leave.
