Eye-opening stats about food allergen attitudes & practises in restaurants

I know a lot of you are making the best of the current situation by taking stock of the back of house operations.

I was doing research on food allergen practices and attitudes and found the results pretty alarming.

Like this one: 50% of allergen related fatalities occur in eating establishments. Let that sink in for a sec.

If you are streamlining kitchen operations, this might be an excellent opportunity to also have a look at your food allergen management.

I've grouped all the stats here: bit.ly/2yZRTyT

Stay safe!
