AllergyPAL training tool
Wakefield Council have pioneered a first of its kind educational training tool, AllergyPAL.
It is a new, modern approach to training that is user friendly and enjoyable. It helps to make “may Contain” regulations easier to understand.
AllergyPAL training is set in a small town, and takes players on a journey into kitchen and food prep areas. Here your knowledge of Precautionary Allergen Labelling (PAL) is tested using different scenarios.
AllergyPAL is designed for:
- small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
- hospitality and catering industries
Linked to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) website the game will:
- teach you about allergen management
- increase awareness of Provisional Allergen Labelling (PAL) and its purposes
You can use the tool on the AllergyPAL website.
We created AllergyPAL using a grant from the Regulators Pioneer Fund initiated by the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
