Allergen Awareness Training Law Effective January 1, 2018

On January 1, 2018, HB 2510 goes into effect throughout Illinois, which will require Food Service Sanitation Managers working in Category I restaurants to obtain ANSI-accredited allergen awareness training within 30 days of hire, and every three years thereafter. We suggest all food service establishments have this training.

What Employers Need to Know 

  •  The law takes effect January 1, 2018, with enforcement beginning on July 1, 2018.

  • After July 1, 2018, health inspectors will require proof of ANSI-accredited allergen training during routine

  • health inspections.

  • · Certified Food Service Sanitation Managers working in Category I restaurants in Illinois are required to receive ANSI-accredited allergen awareness training within 30 days of hire, and every 3 years thereafter.

  • · This training is required in addition to the current Sanitation Manager Certification.

  • · Food Service Managers must now receive both sanitation and allergen certification separately.

  • · There is no limit to how many times an employee can take the training.

The number of Americans affected by food allergies trends higher every year, and studies indicate that half the fatal episodes from food allergens occur outside the home. Dining out is a serious concern for customers with food allergies, as well as their family and friends.
