What is a food handler?
Anyone who handles, prepares, cleans, or serves food is a food handler. Besides the kitchen staff, think Clinical Staff, Childcare educators, cleaners, directors, and centre mangers too. The list goes on! When the potential outcome of handling an allergen wrong is dire, all need to be trained in the management of Food Allergens. Families are welcome to be included too.

Plain English Allergen Labelling
Have you noticed a change in the way food allergens are listed on packaged foods lately? For children, residents and families who live with food allergies, there is a welcome change improving the way food allergens are listed on products, called PEAL.
Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) have updated the laws on allergen labelling for foods that can cause severe allergic reactions. Food allergen declarations now must be clear and consistent to help everyone make safe food choices
