Most restaurant staff have limited knowledge about food allergies, according to a new study. Researchers found that 30% of workers could correctly name three food allergens such as milk, eggs or fish.
An international research team tested the food allergy knowledge of 295 restaurant staff members in 15 randomly selected districts of Düsseldorf, Germany. They found that 30% of workers could correctly name three food allergens such as milk, eggs or fish. Fewer than half of participants got a perfect score on a general food allergy knowledge test, according to the study, published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One.
The researchers said it was was"particularly striking" that there was no link between food allergy knowledge and completion of food allergy training. In Germany, there is compulsory training for restaurant staff that deals with food hygiene but not allergies. The findings were in line with other research suggesting that a quarter to half of restaurant staff were not able to identify three allergens, Loerbroks said.
