Programme overview

Being leaders in best practice for provision of food for Coeliac customers, giving you a commercial advantage and unique selling point.

Coeliac disease has risen four-fold in the past 50 years, affecting 1% of the population 50,000 approx. in Ireland. There is a further 500,000 who are gluten intolerant. It is important that this cohort of people receive the same consideration and quality of service as other customers, when designing menu options.

The purpose of the Coeliac Society of Ireland training programme for industry, is to establish restaurant and food service best practice in the safe production of meals for coeliac customers.

The scope of this training is specific to menu items without gluten and informs food businesses on having policies and procedures in place to eliminate and manage the risk of gluten cross contamination in all stages of food handling to meet the FSAI guidance on gluten free provision.

Help Decision Makers
