Allergen Management & Food Safety Policy

Brightmindsluches is committed to maintaining high standards of food safety and allergen awareness. The health and well-being of students is a priority, and we take reasonable and proactive steps to reduce the risk of allergen exposure while providing nutritious, high-quality meals.

Food Preparation & Handling Procedures

Meals are prepared in a shared kitchen environment using established food safety and sanitation protocols. Our team follows structured procedures for ingredient handling, preparation, and cleaning in an effort to minimize the risk of cross-contact between allergens.

Despite these precautions, Brightmindsluches cannot guarantee that meals are completely free from all allergens, as trace exposure may occur due to factors beyond our control, including supplier practices or shared equipment.

Staff Training & Ongoing Review

All food handling staff receive training in food safety, sanitation, and allergen awareness. Our policies and procedures are reviewed periodically to align with current food safety guidance and operational best practices.

Allergen Awareness & Risk Reduction

Nut- and Peanut-Free Food Preparation
Brightmindsluches operates with a strict nut-free and peanut-free policy. These ingredients are not intentionally used in our meal preparation or stored in our kitchen. This measure is implemented to reduce the risk of exposure to common allergens within the school meal environment.

Ingredient Review and Documentation
All ingredients used by Brightmindsluches are reviewed before use. We rely on supplier ingredient disclosures and labelling to identify the presence of allergens. Ingredient information is documented and reviewed as part of our standard operating procedures.

Allergy & Dietary Accommodations

Nutritional Oversight
Menu planning and dietary substitutions are supported by a nutrition professional to help ensure meals meet nutritional guidelines while addressing documented dietary needs when feasible.

Allergy-Conscious Meal Options
Brightmindsluches makes reasonable efforts to offer meal options suitable for students with common allergens and sensitivities, which may include gluten, eggs, sesame, fish, and wheat. Availability may vary based on menu cycles and ingredient sourcing.

Dietary Preferences
We also offer menu options designed to accommodate vegetarian and Halal dietary preferences. These options are prepared in accordance with our general food safety practices.

Parent & School Responsibility

Parents and guardians are responsible for notifying the school of any food allergies or dietary restrictions their child may have. Brightmindsluches relies on the information provided by the school and families to make appropriate accommodations when possible. Families are encouraged to assess their individual risk and consult with medical professionals before participating in the meal program.
