According to FARE, 33 million Americans—one in 10 adults and one in 13 children—are affected by life-threatening food allergies. Addressing growing concerns about food allergens and cross-contact, Steritech, a leading provider of top-tier food safety assessments and consulting services, is teaming up with MenuTrinfo to introduce a pioneering food allergy assessment aimed at enhancing protection for businesses and their customers.
MenuTrinfo’s AllerCheck Assessments encompass a thorough review of over 30 Allergen Standards, spanning menu preparation, ingredient documentation, employee education, emergency response training, and beyond, to confirm that menu items are prepared with verified ingredients and that operations adhere to proper food safety procedures.
This solution can help businesses enhance safety, foster trust, and demonstrate a commitment to food safety.
“While this point-in-time assessment does not guarantee an allergen-free environment, it underscores to customers that the right knowledge, processes and safe practices are firmly in place, reflecting a profound commitment to transparency, well-being and inclusion. The impartial oversights, provided by Steritech’s Food Safety Specialists, can help uncover potential risks, enable industry benchmarking and drive corrective actions.”
Doug Sutton, President, Steritech
Upon completion, clients are provided with a detailed report highlighting any missed standards, with all data centralized in Steritech’s OnBrand360 portal for streamlined monitoring and trend identification across multiple locations. Approved facilities receive a certificate with the prestigious AllerCheck seal, symbolizing their unwavering dedication to food allergy awareness and preparedness.
“This partnership with Steritech offers a comprehensive solution to a critical and nation-wide, food industry pain point, backed by industry expertise and endorsed by leading organizations. This solution can help businesses enhance safety protocols, foster trust among customers and demonstrate a leading commitment to food safety and inclusivity.”
Betsy Craig, President, MenuTrinfo
