Cranbrook Schools Foodservice Team Certified by Food Allergy Research and Education Organization

Since food allergies affect 1 in 13 children in the U.S., Cranbrook Schools and its foodservice partner, Chartwells K12, recognizes the critical importance of taking a careful approach to support students and families who manage food allergy issues every day. 

Cranbrook Schools’ team of foodservice associates recently completed FARECheck, a comprehensive food allergen training program certified by the Food Allergy Research and Education organization, the world’s largest nonprofit dedicated to food allergy awareness, education, research and advocacy. 

Chartwells K12 is the first in the child nutrition industry to have its allergen management training courses certified by FARE. 

This comprehensive training and certification program prepares foodservice staff for responsible food handling regarding allergens and anaphylaxis. It adds to Chartwells K12 best-in-class allergy management program developed in collaboration with Registered Dietitians, Chefs, purchasing experts, and quality assurance professionals.
