Culinary Software Services, Inc., the leading provider of back-of-the-house technology for the foodservice industry, announces the addition of Allergen Alerts to its ChefTec software. Under the Food Allergen Labeling & Consumer Protection Act, the FDA requires food labels to clearly state if food products contain any ingredients from the eight major allergenic foods. Labels are required to identify the presence of ingredients that contain protein derived from milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans. Allergen Alerts in ChefTec allows users to generate this important information easily and efficiently.
"Each year, millions of Americans have allergic reactions to food. Most food allergies cause relatively mild symptoms, but some can cause severe reactions, and may even be life-threatening. We are excited to add this functionality to ChefTec so our users can help keep their customers safe," said Brian Bennett, President of Culinary Software Services. "ChefTec makes it easy to generate accurate reporting and labeling of the major allergenic foods, keeping our users in full compliance with the law with the click of a button!"
