FOOD businesses in Warwickshire are being urged to take advantage of a free food allergy labelling webinar.
The 30 minute training webinar, organised by Warwickshire County Council Trading Standards, will help businesses correctly label their food with the potentially life-saving allergen information required by law.
The webinar is suitable for food business including take-aways, restaurants, cafes, and sellers of prepacked foods, and will give them the opportunity to ask questions of a Trading Standards expert.
Warwickshire County Council’s community safety spokesman Coun Andy Crump said: “Sadly, every year allergen suffers become ill and even die as a result of eating foods that were incorrectly labelled or because they relied upon information given them by staff that was wrong.
“This webinar is a great opportunity for owners and employees of Warwickshire food businesses to update themselves on the latest guidance and ask questions of our Trading Standards experts.
“I would urge all businesses to take advantage of this free webinar.”
The free webinar will take place on Tuesday July 12 at 2.30pm. No registration is required. Visit https://bit.ly/3u7j2JU to join.
