AllerCheck™

MenuTrinfo®, LLC takes food allergy safety to the next level with AllerCheck™.

This program will allow the food service provider to work with food service professionals from AllerTrain® and MenuTrinfo® to ensure you are providing a safe dining experience for all of your consumers.

Our team members review your dining facilities, policies, and procedures for safer allergen service. Areas of focus include ingredient reviews, training, receiving, storage, and more. Upon successful completion of the assessment, you will have use of the AllerCheck™ seal and certificate to showcase your dedication to food allergy safety.

If you have a location that offers menu items that are made without the major food allergens, but your operation setup is in an open kitchen environment where equipment, storage, prep, or service areas may be shared, this is the perfect solution for you.

AllerCheck™ does not guarantee any menu items are ”free from” any top food allergens, like with Certified Free From™. Rather, the certificate confirms that your operation follows the proper processes and procedures set in place to minimize any risk of cross-contact and serve menu items prepared with verified ingredients.

Pricing is available for 1 location up to 1,000.

Food Service Allergy Awareness Training & Certification

Restaurants are in the hospitality business, meaning their primary goal is to provide customers with a positive and fulfilling experience.

  For the food service industry this means providing delicious meals, outstanding service, a memorable setting, and an appealing ambiance. Dining out isn’t just about the food; it’s about the entire experience.

  Part of delivering a satisfying customer experience is offering options that observe different dietary restrictions so that diners not only find something to eat but don’t end up getting sick due to food sensitivities, intolerance, or allergies. So how can you go the extra mile to protect your customers?

  MenuTrinfo has the solution with AllerCheck. AllerCheck is a food service allergy training, awareness, and certification system that approaches the problem from multiple angles, including an assessment of your menu, staff, and facilities, as well as applicable rules and regulations.

  These services ensure a knowledgeable staff, a menu that presents accurate nutrition and allergy information, and, if you so choose, the certifications that put your customers at ease.

  What is Allergy Confidence? Why Is It So Important?

  Eating is more than a biological necessity; it’s a chance to socialize with family and friends over delectable and fulfilling dishes. For many people, dining out is a treat because they don’t have to do any cooking or cleaning, and they get to feel pampered by service professionals.

  Unfortunately, some diners suffer one or more food allergies, sensitivities, or intolerance for certain ingredients, while others face self-imposed dietary restrictions. This can not only make perusing a menu disheartening but downright stressful.

  Naturally, this isn’t the experience you want your guests to have. You want them to feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for during their time in your establishment. This begins by providing them with information that allows them to confidently order from your menu.

  MenuTrinfo is pleased to offer nutritional analysis services when you provide recipes and portion sizes. With reverse ingredient lookup, you’ll receive the most accurate nutritional and allergy info for every item on your menu. This makes it easy for diners to order the meals that best meet their personal needs and preferences, with 100% assurance that their choices will conform to their diet.

  If you want to create the most accommodating dining environment for customers facing food sensitivities, intolerance, allergies, and dietary restrictions, revamping your menu with nutritional and allergy information is essential. It helps to provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere that paves the way for allergy confidence and an exceptional dining experience for every customer.

  How Does AllerCheck Work?

  MenuTrinfo is committed to helping food service companies and professionals deliver the outstanding dining experience every customer deserves. You put a lot of work into crafting appealing recipes, training your team to deliver exceptional service, and creating an environment conducive to a positive and engaging dining experience.

  We’ll help you improve diners’ safety with a series of assessments, food allergy awareness training, and opportunities for certification. Our system includes a preparatory self-audit, an in-person visit, and training accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and National Accreditation Board (ANAB).

  We offer a turnkey solution to your allergy confidence needs, whether you’re ultimately seeking certifications or you’re just getting started with allergy awareness.

  What We Review

  In order to help you create a safer environment and more knowledgeable staff, our team of food service professionals will review several aspects of your organization to get a clear picture of where you’re at and the steps necessary to help you reach your goals. The AllerCheck review process includes an assessment of your:

  • Location
  • Menu
  • Service
  • Policies and procedures
  • Missions

  We’re pleased to offer pricing options for locations numbering from 1 to 1,000. All of our auditors are verified food safety professionals and are experienced in assessing operations large and small. What can you expect from our thorough review?

  Location Assessment

  You might not think your location has anything to do with food handling or allergens, but the facilities you use significantly impact your operations. Before you leap into food service allergy training, consider the role your kitchen, dining room, and layout have on food preparation and the relative safety of guests dealing with serious allergies.

  Some people, for example, are so allergic to peanuts that even eating food prepared on the same surface as peanuts or breathing peanut dust particulates in recycled air could spur an allergic reaction. By assessing the food prep and service environment, we can pinpoint potential issues you might not even know about.

  Menu Review

  Whether you’re planning for food allergy certification or not, you need to know which menu items could be potential allergens or cause issues with customers that have dietary restrictions.

  A menu review will provide you not only with nutritional information that is valuable to many customers but the ability to label known allergens and ingredients like gluten, dairy, meat/animal products, and soy that some diets restrict.

  All you have to do is provide recipes and serving sizes, and our trained and experienced nutritionists and dietary experts will review it, perform reverse ingredient lookups, and save you the time and hassle of tedious research and data entry.

  Our confidentiality agreement ensures that your proprietary recipes remain secure, and we stay up-to-date with nutritional labeling requirements for ingredient and allergen disclosures so that you can be assured of compliance.

  Service Evaluation

  A chain is only as good as its weakest link. While you can take steps to tidy up your menu and facilities, your staff is largely responsible for producing meals accurately and with safety in mind, so you cannot skimp on their education.

  Our service evaluation is intended to see what your team knows and how they operate in preparation for food allergy awareness training. With MenuTrinfo’s AllerTrain system, your kitchen staff, servers, and management can all find the courses that best suit their position, take online or in-person classes, increase allergy awareness, and learn the safest practices for handling food and avoiding contamination.

  Audit of Policies and Procedures

  Your operation runs on a set series of policies and procedures that dictate how employees behave and perform. The AllerCheck assessment includes a review of policies and procedures, such as training, handbooks, and real-world practices, to determine whether changes need to be made. When all assessments are complete, we’ll deliver recommendations, and the food service allergy training can commence.

  Overview of Missions

  Food Allergy Certification Services

  AllerCheck and AllerTrain services from MenuTrinfo can really help you to clean up your operation and improve staff knowledge through food allergy awareness training.

  • Peanuts
  • Tree nuts
  • Wheat and gluten
  • Milk or dairy
  • Soy
  • Sesame
  • Fish
  • Shellfish
  • Eggs

  Collectively, these food allergens are known as the Big Nine, or the most common ingredients to cause allergic reactions. We’re happy to help you become Certified Free From for all nine.
