Eating at a Meeting 138: Teaching Confidence in Providing Safe Food Choices
Food Allergy Awareness Week.
Episode Caroline Benjamin and Jacqui McPeake are no strangers to a catering or hotel kitchen, having worked in food service for a combined 35+ years. They are also no strangers to food allergies and other dietary needs, Caroline being allergic to gluten and dairy and Jacqui a mom of a food allergic child.
Together (and separately) their passion for raising awareness of food allergens and intolerance across the food industry has supported the rollout and adoption of allergen legislation in the United Kingdom, teaching about and promoting best practices for allergen management, and implementing policies and procedures that result in safe and positive dining experiences and in return, increased revenue and customer loyalty.
Joining from the UK during Food Allergy Awareness Month, Jacqui and Caroline will join Tracy on Eating at a Meeting, Thursday, May 12, to discuss how food service businesses can help food allergic customers feel safe when looking for and dining at their events/venues, how to increase revenue with food allergic guests, and the importance of the "Near Miss Campaign" they've launched to help everyone.
