Supporting Children to Eat Safely at School

8th November 2020

LACA’s brand new allergen management resources aim to support schools, caterers and pupils in understanding the best practise when catering in education, more specifically with regards to managing allergens safely. This documentation provides information about allergies and food allergen avoidance diets that require the removal of specified ingredients, including the 14 listed allergens of the Food Information Regulations. 

We are proud to be a trusted supplier for many schools across the country with our 100% gluten free range, many of which contain no declarable allergens^ (we’re sure our Peanut-free Satay will leave you lost for words). 

We understand the pressure and responsibility that comes with catering for young children and the importance of clear product labelling in a busy kitchen environment. Our allergen and intolerance guidance can also be downloaded from our website here

Our team of chefs are on hand to provide you with support and advice on using our range of versatile products as part of your offering, showing how they can limit allergens, control costs and reduce preparation times, simply get in touch
