| Illinois | Certified food protection managers at Illinois restaurants must take allergen awareness training within 30 days after they start the job and every 3 years after that, unless an exception applies. Food handlers who are not certified managers do not have to take it. Under P.A. 104-90, effective 1-1-26, the topics the Act lists for the training include gluten. | |
| Massachusetts | In Massachusetts, each food service establishment must have at least one person in charge who is a certified food protection manager with allergen training. The certificate counts for 5 years from the day it was issued. The state no longer approves specific courses, but deems a course approved if it meets its rules. That person must also make sure all employees are trained. |
