Assess the current state of food allergy management strategies and the perceptions of them among food service providers.
The study surveyed establishments that participated in a food allergy management workshop or- ganized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in February 2018. The survey inquired about the implemen- tation status of food allergy management strategies, the frequency of accidental ingestions and near misses, and the necessary actions for advancing food allergy management.
The survey yielded a response rate of 78% (257/331); 81% of the operators reported having implemented some form of food allergy management strategies. However, only 51% had created a manual for food allergy management and 55% had labeled 7 specified ingredients. 29% of the operators reported experiencing accidental ingestions or near misses, with 34% of those incidents requiring medical attention. 49% of the operators identified the "establishment of industry standards" as a crucial step in advancing food allergy management.
The survey results indicate that establishments have not fully implemented adequate and effective food allergy management strategies. There is a need to enhance the awareness and understanding of food allergies among businesses and to establish appropriate and sufficient food allergy management measures in the future.
评估食物过敏管理策略的现状以及餐饮服务提供者对这些策略的看法。
该研究对参加了2018年2月由东京都政府组织的食物过敏管理研讨会的机构进行了调查。调查询问了食物过敏管理策略的实施状况、意外摄入和险些发生意外的频率,以及推进食物过敏管理所需采取的行动。
调查的回复率为78%(257/331);81%的经营者报告已实施了某种形式的食物过敏管理策略。然而,只有51%制定了食物过敏管理手册,55%对7种特定成分进行了标注。29%的经营者报告发生过意外摄入或险些发生意外的情况,其中34%的此类事件需要医疗处理。49%的经营者认为“制定行业标准”是推进食物过敏管理的关键一步。
调查结果表明,各机构尚未充分实施适当且有效的食物过敏管理策略。有必要提高企业对食物过敏的认识和理解,并在未来建立适当且充分的食物过敏管理措施。
