BRC certification body, FoodChain ID Certification Europe is running a webinar session on 31 January 2013 on allergen awareness, ideal for technical and production staff working in food manufacture and plant bakery sites.

The two hour session, which will be available twice on the day, has been developed to give a thorough overview of allergens and control of cross contamination in order that users can meet the requirements of the new BRC Standard 6 which states that ‘all relevant personnel, including engineers, temporary staff and contractors shall have received general allergen training’.

Covering areas such as the different types of allergens and allergic reactions, practical control and risk assessment, controlling cross contamination and product recall, as well as the legal requirements of allergen labelling, the session will provide enough information for a delegate to develop and run their own in-house awareness training. At the end of the session there is a short test to assess understanding of the course content.

The webinar costs £125, with two sessions on 31st January at 10am and 2pm.
