SIUS Allergen Awareness Training covers the Big 9 food allergens recognized under the FASTER Act of 2021 (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame), cross-contact prevention protocols, front-of-house/back-of-house allergen communication, emergency response procedures, and guidance on building an allergen control plan for your establishment. The course also covers the difference between food allergies and food intolerances – and why the response protocols are different for each.
This is not a checkbox course. It’s built for food service teams that need to handle allergen questions confidently, prevent cross-contact in real kitchen environments, and know exactly what to do if something goes wrong.
Allergen training requirements vary by state. Several states already mandate allergen awareness training for food service managers or staff. Even in states without a specific mandate, the FDA Food Code (a model code adopted in whole or in part by most jurisdictions) expects the person in charge to demonstrate knowledge of major food allergens and ensure staff are informed. No state requirement does not mean no risk – it means training is your decision, not the government’s.

SIUS does not currently offer state-approved allergen training programs for the states listed below. State-specific online training is in development.
Most states do not have a standalone allergen training mandate. If your state isn’t listed above, SIUS Allergen Awareness Training covers the allergen knowledge expected under the FDA Food Code and gives your team the skills to prevent incidents, handle guest allergen requests, and respond to emergencies – regardless of whether your state specifically requires it.
Allergen awareness training teaches food service employees how to identify the Big 9 major food allergens, prevent cross-contact in the kitchen, communicate allergen information to guests, and respond to allergic reactions. SIUS Allergen Awareness Training is $19 per person, 100% online, and includes a certificate valid for 3 years.
The Big 9 major food allergens recognized by the FDA are: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans, and sesame. Sesame was added under the FASTER Act of 2021, effective January 2023.
Several states mandate allergen awareness training, including Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Rhode Island. California and Maryland have allergen-related disclosure and poster requirements. New York has pending legislation. Even in states without a specific mandate, the FDA Food Code – a model code adopted by most jurisdictions – expects the person in charge to demonstrate knowledge of major food allergens.

The SIUS Allergen Awareness Training certificate is valid for 3 years from the date of completion. Some states with specific mandates may have different renewal cycles – Illinois, for example, requires renewal every 3 years, which aligns with the SIUS certificate validity.
No. Food Handler training covers general food safety – safe temperatures, personal hygiene, and cross-contamination prevention. Allergen awareness training is a specialized course focused on allergen identification, cross-contact prevention, communication protocols, and emergency response. In states with allergen training mandates, it must typically be completed as a separate program.
Call 911 immediately if the guest shows signs of anaphylaxis – difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat or tongue, rapid pulse, dizziness, or loss of consciousness. Keep the guest calm, seated, and monitored. Identify what they ate and preserve any remaining food for investigation. Document the incident thoroughly. SIUS Allergen Awareness Training covers emergency response protocols in detail.
