About the course

Current regulations establish that any establishment that offers meals, unpackaged foods, packaged foods upon request, or immediate-sale food products is responsible for having a system that allows it to inform its customers about potential allergens in its dishes or products, and will be subject to the corresponding penalty in the event of noncompliance. Therefore, it is very important to dedicate resources to meeting the training requirements for these workers.


The food allergy and intolerance course at SAIA follows a fully updated program, with a high level of practical content, taught by highly qualified professionals with experience in the sector.

  • Who is it for?

    Anyone who, due to their work, has direct or indirect contact with food and already has prior knowledge of food safety and needs to delve deeper into food allergies and intolerances.
