Certified Allergen Safe Venues

One of the biggest challenges when eating out with food allergies, coeliac disease, or food intolerances is finding venues that are truly allergen management certified and that have the right procedures in place to cater safely to your needs. That’s why we believe it makes perfect sense to have a graded certification system, because, from our experience, one size does not fit all when it comes to allergen safety.

Every venue is unique. They face different challenges, operate with varying resources, and serve a wide range of customers. A graded certification system allows venues to demonstrate their strengths in allergen management, food safety, and inclusivity. It also provides clear information on what they can and cannot safely offer to food hypersensitive guests.

This transparent approach empowers you, the customer, to make informed choices with confidence. You’ll know the venue has been independently assessed and is committed to maintaining high standards in allergen management. It also supports ongoing improvement across the hospitality sector by encouraging accountability and progress, not perfection.

Food Allergy Aware is proud to be the only organisation offering this flexible, realistic certification model, with every site independently audited to assess their allergen management practices. We understand that a site is only as good as its onsite management and team, which is why our approach focuses on real-world practices, training, and continuous improvement.
