    Allergens in food can be life-threatening, with an estimated 1-2% of adults and 5-8% of children thought to be affected by a food allergic reaction. It is essential for all staff working in food manufacture, retail, distribution, or hospitality to have an understanding of the cause of allergic reactions, the symptoms, and ways that allergens can be controlled in the food business.
