Course Overview

Anyone who works with food needs to know about allergens and allergen labelling. They particularly need to be aware of the changes to the rules which were introduced in December 2014. In the UK it’s estimated that 2 million people have an allergy to foods, and over the last 15 years hospital admissions for food allergies have increased by 500%.

As there is no cure for food allergies, they must be managed and the only way to do this is to avoid the foods which cause the allergy. It is therefore important that people with food allergies can easily find out which products contain the ingredients they are allergic to. In order to comply with the new EU FIC Regulations, everyone working in the food industry is required to understand how to make this information readily available to consumers should they need to know.

15.2 Usage of the products supplied is restricted to employees directly employed by the client up to the credit limit set and agreed at the time of ordering unless a commercial licence has been purchased separately.

15.3 In addition to the perpetual licence, credits must be purchased and allocated against each of the courses for which a licence has been arranged.

Once all sections in the course have been completed and a test has been attempted further use, even by the same person, will result in the use of an additional credit.

16. Minimum System Requirements for Online Training Courses

16.1 Flash Player: Latest version is recommended.

16.2 Operating System / Browsers: We support the last three major Internet Explorer versions and all current versions of other browsers.

16.3 We are continually evolving our products to keep up with the changes in technology. And to remain compatible it may be necessary for Clients to upgrade their systems to keep up with current technology. Browsers such as Chrome and Mozilla Firefox 'auto-update', so users of these browsers are usually automatically on the latest release. We are hoping that Microsoft will move towards this in the near future, so that everyone will automatically be using the latest release of any browser and so be automatically supported. Until this happens it may be necessary for Clients to manually download the latest version to their systems.
