Gluten Free Food Safety Training

Coeliac New Zealand

International research indicates there could be up to 100,000 people in our NZ team of 5 million with coeliac disease and of those 30,000 are likely to be children under the age of 18. This growing community of people are preferentially seeking, safe GF options and they bring their friends to dine with them. These potential patrons often fear dining out because they have no control over the preparation of their food and the consequences of error are significant.

Coeliac NZ Ambassador Brent Martin, the Executive Chef of the Onemata, Living Room, Captain’s Bar and The Pantry eateries within the Park Hyatt Auckland talks about the importance of gluten free food safety in the workplace.

For Food Service Professionals, Café Owners, Managers, Chefs, and Hospitality Students.

Invest in yourself and your business by equipping your staff with the knowledge, skills, and resources to provide safe gluten-free food for your customers. This isn’t just about compliance — it’s about building trust, customer loyalty, and a strong reputation.

Coeliac NZ offers a suite of online training opportunities for your business or institution to meet the needs of customers who require gluten-free food.

Did you know? Customers who require gluten-free food account for over 40% of your diners — and they often choose the restaurant or venue for their whole group of friends, family, or colleagues.
