FOOD and drink businesses are invited to ‘Allergens in Food and Feed’ workshops at the National Waterways Museum.

The University of Chester course offers an introduction to food allergens and the rapid tests that can be used in a workplace to evaluate the effectiveness of cleaning and control procedures.

The workshops will also explore legislation, cleaning methods appropriate to the food and drink sector and a ‘hands-on’ session to examine the cost-effective technology available in the industry.

There will also be opportunities for questions and discussion through the workshop.

Directors, managers and operatives with a responsibility to ensure control of allergens and consumer protection are encouraged to attend.

Workshops will be held at the museum tomorrow (November 8) and Thursday, November 15. Registration opens from 1pm.
