Everyday Heroes - Reducing Allergen Risk in Food Processing

The wrong label. One mishandled ingredient. Improper cleaning of equipment. That's all it takes to crate a food allergen crisis. Because food allergens are the #1 reason for recalls, every employee in your plant needs to know what can happen when allergens enter your product unintentionally. That takes awareness, training and education--at every level.

That's the focus of <i>Everyday Heroes: Reducing Allergen Risk in Food Processing</i> --a training packaged designed to help food processors get the message to employees. <i>Everyday Heroes</i> is a comprehensive training package that combines a video presentation with facilitator support materials. The result: And easy-to-implement, effective education program that helps your plant personnel learn how to avoid allergen cross-contact.

The video covers several topics including:

> What is an allergen?
> What happens in an allergic reaction?
> Common ways allergens enter food unintentionally
> Safeguards employees can take to avoid the problem
