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.
