AFP.Google.com reports in Sweden that a certificate program is soon to be underway to award restaurants whose staff undergo a training program to allow them to advise patrons of allergens in the dishes they are offering.
This is the first initiative of its kind anywhere in Europe.
This partly came about after Mats Hulth, the head of the Swedish Hotel and Restaurant Association, had a severe food related allergic reaction, and he was approached by Sweden’s Asthma and Allergy Association to help with the program.
