Basic Information
Introduction
Milk and its derivatives are on the list of the 14 EU allergens that every professional in the world of gastronomy must be aware of.
This factor should not be confused with lactose intolerance, a sugar present in milk and its derivatives, which occurs in people with total or low levels of production of the enzyme lactase.
The protocol that must exist in a hotel business on the handling of this substance, avoiding cross-contamination, as well as its substitution in the recipe book to allow customers who have an intolerance to enjoy a complete menu without risk, should not only be seen reflected in the company's HACCP but, as indicated by EU Regulation 1169/2011 and Royal Decree 126/2015 of February 27, they must be made known to the business's workforce in order to be put into practice at all times.
The lack of professionalization of many businesses has meant that, on too many occasions, people with this intolerance decide not to eat out, which is a problem considering that more and more cases of lactose intolerant patients are being known.
It is also necessary in the confectionery area where, due to its scientific base and high specificity, the control of the raw materials to be used is key. It is especially important to know which foods can replace those that contain lactose and in what exact proportions.
Objectives
The student must know everything related to lactose intolerance, and will be able to design a menu suitable for people who suffer from this intolerance, using the appropriate ingredients.
You will be able to identify the dishes that contain this substance and duly indicate it on the menu.
You will know the European and Spanish regulations related to the treatment of allergens and cross contamination in order to adapt your company's HACCP to the handling of lactose and derivatives.
