The Environmental Health Bureau’s Office of Food Protection (OFP) within the Maryland Department of Health (MDH) does not specifically require a formal food allergy course. However, persons in charge are responsible for identifying major food allergens and training their staff to appropriately manage allergen-related risks. An allergen awareness training can help a person in charge prepare to support customers with food allergies and demonstrate knowledge to the health inspector.
