🌾❌ Allergen Safety: Protecting Health, Saving Lives
Did you know? Even tiny traces of allergens can cause severe reactions.
✅ Check every label – ingredients change often.
✅ Prevent cross-contamination – use separate utensils, boards, and toasters.
✅ Train staff – everyone must know how to recognise and respond to allergic reactions.
✅ Have an emergency plan – know where medication is and how to use it (e.g., EpiPen).
Most common allergens:
🥛 Milk • 🌾 Gluten • 🥜 Peanuts • 🌰 Tree nuts • 🐟 Fish • 🦐 Shellfish • 🍳 Eggs • 🌱 Soya • 🍯 Sesame • 🟠 Lupin • 🦀 Crustaceans • ⚪ Sulphites
👉 Allergen safety is not optional – it’s the law, and it’s lifesaving.
💡 Whether at home, in care, or in hospitality – being careful with allergens keeps everyone safe.
