Kitchens With Confidence Allergen & Gluten-free Certification:

This certification is for dedicated kitchens, stations, prep areas, pantries, or other dedicated space that allows a company and their staff to accommodate those with special dietary needs.

Auditors from Kitchens with Confidence assist and advise establishments along each step from the review of their ordering and receiving food protocols all the way to the service if customers at the table. These trained auditors help facilities become top-shelf food service establishments and increase their awareness of food allergies.
