In our literature, we have outlined what the federal Food Code suggests although Illinois law currently only requires that the Food Service Sanitation Manager be trained in Allergen Awareness. It is a start.

IFAEA has traveled to 6 cities, so far, visiting local restaurants and informing them of the new Illinois law which requires food service sanitation managers to be trained in allergen awareness. Hopefully we will visit a city near you soon!
