Food Allergy Awareness for Front-of-house Staff
Overview
Food allergies now affect 1 in 20 children and 2 in 100 adults in Australia. For someone with food allergies, even a trace of their allergen could be deadly.
Recent studies reveal most severe food-related emergencies occur while eating out.
It’s critical that your front-of-house staff are fully aware of the serious risk food allergies pose.
