Food allergies

Intent:

To help occupants avoid consumption of or contact with potential food allergens.

Post Date: 31 Jul, 2019 Status: Approved Projects may achieve Feature 40, Part 1 by creating and implementing a system to label food allergens to indicate the presence of food allergens in foods and beverages. The labeling system must include, at minimum, the food allergens listed in Feature 40 Part 1. Signage explaining how the labeling system operates is prominently displayed at point-of-decision and the complete list of allergens found in foods and beverages is available upon request. Signage is subject to a spot check during performance review.
Post Date: 15 Aug, 2018 Status: Approved For Feature 40 Part 1, in lieu of allergen labelling, projects may have food allergen experts on their staff. All kitchen, cafeteria, or similar staff should have the option to participate in allergen training at no cost and at least one trained staff member must be present at all shifts. In addition, point-of-decision signage must be present to prompt individuals to report any potential allergies to staff. As part of the Documentation Review, projects should provide an example certificate of completion for staff members who have completed the food allergy training. Signage is subject to a spot check during performance review.
