Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai penerapan manajemen alergen pada produk Gluten Friendly Meal di PT Aerofood Indonesia. Latar belakang penelitian ini adalah pentingnya manajemen alergen untuk memastikan keamanan produk bagi konsumen dengan sensitivitas terhadap alergen. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kuantitatif dengan purposive sampling terhadap 17 karyawan departemen QHSE. Instrumen penelitian berupa angket tertutup dengan skala Likert yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar aspek manajemen alergen telah diimplementasikan dengan baik, terutama di area penerimaan bahan baku, pemorsian, dan Meal Tray Set Up. Namun, ada beberapa aspek yang perlu ditingkatkan, seperti pemisahan peralatan di area penyimpanan, pengetatan jadwal dan tempat pemasakan, serta pengaturan rak di blast chiller. Kesimpulannya, meskipun manajemen alergen sudah baik, diperlukan perbaikan untuk mengoptimalkan pengelolaan alergen dan memastikan keamanan produk. Saran meliputi peningkatan fasilitas penyimpanan, pengetatan prosedur operasional, peningkatan pelatihan karyawan, dan investasi pada teknologi manajemen alergen.

This study aimed to assess the implementation of allergen management for gluten-friendly meal products at PT Aerofood Indonesia. This research highlighted the importance of allergen management to ensure product safety for consumers with allergen sensitivities. The research method used was descriptive quantitative with purposive sampling of 17 employees from the QHSE department. The research instrument was a closed questionnaire with a Likert scale that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results show that most aspects of allergen management have been wellimplemented, particularly in raw material receiving, portioning, and Meal Tray Setup. However, some areas need improvement, such as the separation of equipment in the storage area, stricter scheduling and cooking areas, and rack arrangement in the blast chiller. In conclusion, although allergen management is generally good, improvements are needed to optimize allergen management and ensure product safety. Recommendations include enhancing storage facilities, tightening operational procedures, increasing employee training, and investing in allergen management technology.
