Allergen-Free Recognition Program for Hotels & Holiday Resort Destinations

Our unique approach to food allergy management enables GFFP certified customers to increase efficiency, foster greater safety recognition with holiday guests and gain a competitive edge in the hospitality marketplace.

Hotels and holiday resort destinations have a responsibility to ensure that guests with food allergies have access to food that is allergen safe and of the highest quality. With food allergies increasing globally, allergens continue to be a growing food safety risk and concern for hotels & holiday resort destinations. Having an assessment of your allergen management program can be a valuable addition to your risk mitigation strategies and help reduce allergy incidents with guests.

GFFP’s Approved Foods Recognition Program is a voluntary assessment program developed by industry specialists with standards founded on safety approaches for the management of the known major allergens recognized in the United States, Canada and Europe. The outcome of the program offers strategies and best practices to help our customers reduce the potential for front and back of house process errors that can lead to allergy incidents. Customers also receive the benefits of displaying the GFFP Approved Foods Mark of Trust™ which ensures guests with food allergies that the systems and safety approaches have been reviewed by a third-party organization and meets the strictest requirements for the development and serving of allergen-free menu items.

Each hotel and holiday resort participating in the GFFP Approved Recognition Program will receive three complimentary AF-Smart™ training sessions for key staff as part of the certification program.
