FACTS has delivered allergen management training for two decades. Our training is regularly updated to reflect current scientific knowledge, industry guidance and best practice in allergen management.

The training covers the main elements of an effective allergen management plan, providing delegates with the knowledge and practical tools to apply allergen controls consistently. Teams learn to identify allergen risks, apply suitable controls, validate and verify their effectiveness, and respond effectively when issues arise.
