    Introduction

    This interactive training has been developed by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) for Local Authorities' enforcement officers. However, it might also be of interest to food industry organisations and businesses, consumers and others who would like to learn more about food allergies and how to handle allergens safely.

    Eating safely when living with a food allergy is a challenge. The only way to manage the condition is avoidance of the food that causes a reaction. It is important that Food Business Operators (FBOs) provide safe food, and it is the responsibility of local authorities to enforce the rules in relation to allergens.

    In the UK, there are approximately:

    • 6% of adults and 5-8% of children who live with a food allergy
    • 1 in 100 people have coeliac disease

     

    The Modules in this training

    There are six Modules which include a knowledge check at the end of each one. You will need to register, answer a short survey and then study the Modules. Once you have completed each Module, you will be able to complete the assessed test for each Module. You will need to pass all six Module tests to gain your certificate.

    Important notice - This training is provided by the FSA for educational purposes only. Completion of the training, including achievement of any assessment score or issue of a certificate of completion, does not constitute accreditation, approval, endorsement, authorisation, licensing, or any other form of official recognition by the FSA. Completion of the training does not confer any right to practise, undertake, supervise, or certify any activity and should not be relied upon as evidence of competence. Responsibility for ensuring compliance with relevant legal requirements remains with food business operators.

    Step 1: Register, answer the survey and study the Modules. The training contains six Modules relating to food allergy and intolerance, with a knowledge check at the end of each Module.

    These Modules are divided into the following themes:

    • Module 1: Effects that allergies have in the body
    • Module 2: The rules for allergen information
    • Module 3: Managing allergens in the factory
    • Module 4: Providing accurate allergen information for prepacked and non-prepacked food
    • Module 5: Managing allergens in a catering environment
    • Module 6: The use of voluntary labelling

    Step 2: Complete the tests and get your certificate. The course is expected to take approximately three hours to complete. You will find links to the relevant test at the end of each Module. If you wish to take the test later you can find a link on the main course menu.

    If you require any technical support, please email fsa@indegu-support.co.uk 

    If you would like to update or refresh your skills at a later date, you will be able to take the course again and download a new certificate with an updated date. To retake this course, please click on the "restart the training" underneath the button for your previous certificate.

    This training has been updated to reflect current allergen requirements, including the introduction of PPDS food labelling requirements.

    Good luck,

    Croeso i hyfforddiant ar-lein yr Asiantaeth Safonau Bwyd ar alergedd ac anoddefiad bwyd

    Cyflwyniad
    Datblygwyd yr hyfforddiant rhyngweithiol hwn gan yr Asiantaeth Safonau Bwyd (ASB) ar gyfer swyddogion gorfodi awdurdodau lleol. Fodd bynnag, gallai hefyd fod o ddiddordeb i fusnesau a sefydliadau’r diwydiant bwyd, defnyddwyr ac eraill a hoffai ddysgu mwy am alergeddau bwyd a sut i ymdrin ag alergenau’n ddiogel.

    Mae bwyta’n ddiogel wrth fyw ag alergedd bwyd yn heriol. Yr unig ffordd o reoli’r cyflwr yw osgoi’r bwyd sy’n achosi adwaith. Mae’n bwysig bod gweithredwyr busnesau bwyd yn darparu bwyd diogel, a chyfrifoldeb awdurdodau lleol yw gorfodi’r rheolau mewn perthynas ag alergenau.

    Yn y Deyrnas Unedig, mae tua:

    • 6% o oedolion a 5-8% o blant yn byw ag alergedd bwyd
    • 1 o bob 100 o bobl yn byw â chlefyd seliag

     

    Y modiwlau yn yr hyfforddiant hwn

    Mae yna chwe modiwl, a phob un yn cynnwys adran asesu gwybodaeth ar y diwedd. Bydd angen i chi gofrestru, ateb arolwg byr ac yna astudio’r modiwlau. Unwaith y byddwch wedi cwblhau pob modiwl, byddwch yn gallu cwblhau’r profion asesu. Bydd angen i chi lwyddo ym mhob un o’r chwe phrawf i ennill eich tystysgrif. 

    Nodyn pwysig: Dim ond at ddibenion addysgol y mae’r ASB yn darparu’r hyfforddiant hwn. Nid yw cwblhau’r hyfforddiant, gan gynnwys cyflawni unrhyw sgôr asesu neu dderbyn tystysgrif cwblhau, yn gyfystyr ag achrediad, cymeradwyaeth, ardystiad, awdurdodiad, trwyddedu, nac unrhyw fath arall o gydnabyddiaeth swyddogol gan yr ASB. Nid yw cwblhau’r hyfforddiant yn rhoi unrhyw hawl i ymarfer, goruchwylio, ardystio nac ymgymryd ag unrhyw weithgaredd ac ni ddylid dibynnu arno fel tystiolaeth o gymhwysedd. Gweithredwyr busnesau bwyd sy’n gyfrifol am sicrhau cydymffurfiaeth â’r gofynion cyfreithiol perthnasol.

    Cam 1: Cofrestru, llenwi’r arolwg ac astudio’r modiwlau. Mae’r hyfforddiant yn cynnwys chwe modiwl sy’n ymwneud ag alergeddau ac anoddefiadau bwyd, gyda phrawf asesu ar ddiwedd pob modiwl

    Mae’r modiwlau hyn wedi’u rhannu yn ôl y themâu canlynol:

    • Modiwl 1: Effeithiau alergeddau ar y corff
    • Modiwl 2: Y rheolau ar gyfer gwybodaeth am alergenau
    • Modiwl 3: Rheoli alergenau mewn ffatrïoedd
    • Modiwl 4: Darparu gwybodaeth gywir am alergenau ar gyfer bwyd wedi’i becynnu ymlaen llaw a bwyd heb ei becynnu ymlaen llaw
    • Modiwl 5: Rheoli alergenau mewn amgylchedd arlwyo
    • Modiwl 6: Defnyddio labelu gwirfoddol

    Cam 2: Cwblhau’r profion a chael eich tystysgrif. Disgwylir iddi gymryd tua thair awr i gwblhau’r cwrs. Mae dolenni i’r profion perthnasol ar ddiwedd pob modiwl. Os hoffech sefyll y prawf yn nes ymlaen, gallwch ddod o hyd i ddolen ar brif ddewislen y cwrs.

    Os oes angen unrhyw gymorth technegol arnoch, anfonwch e-bost at fsa@indegu-support.co.uk.


    Os hoffech ddiweddaru neu adnewyddu eich sgiliau yn nes ymlaen, byddwch yn gallu dilyn y cwrs eto a lawrlwytho tystysgrif newydd gyda dyddiad newydd. I ddechrau’r cwrs hwn o’r newydd, cliciwch ar y botwm ‘ailddechrau’r hyfforddiant’ sydd o dan y botwm ar gyfer eich tystysgrif flaenorol..

    Mae’r hyfforddiant wedi’i ddiweddaru i gyd-fynd â’r gofynion presennol mewn perthynas ag alergenau, gan gynnwys cyflwyno gofynion o ran labelu bwyd wedi’i becynnu ymlaen llaw i’w werthu’n uniongyrchol (PPDS).

    Pob hwyl i chi!
