Former LACA chair to lead review of allergen guidance for school caterers
Abstract
Former LACA chair Stephen Forster, who led the original process development and publication of the allergen guidance, will lead a review of the information.

LACA launched the Allergens Guidance and Risk Analysis Process in 2020 to support schools, caterers and pupils to enjoy safe food in schools.

LACA, the school food people, believe it is now time to review the process and guidelines to consider any amendments or additions to the process now that sufficient time has passed following its adoption across the sector.

The Risk Analysis Process (RAP) allows users to assess individual pupils risk and the processes that are being used by the school catering service to manage that risk. It will then provide you with a PDF document for you to file and refer to as well as advice on how to reduce the risk should that be required.

Forster commented: “We welcome sharing your experience, how you have used the process within your service and any feedback you can share to help us improve the process for all stakeholders.

“The first review meeting will take place via a Zoom call on Tuesday 6th February from 2:30pm – 4:00pm. If you are interested in attending, please email James on admin@laca.co.uk to register.”
