Food allergen labelling and legislation
To discuss your needs
Several countries and regions (including Europe, America, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand) have introduced legislation that requires the presence of the major food allergens, or their derivatives, to be labelled when included as ingredients in prepacked foods. Such information is also increasingly required to be provided to consumers for foods sold loose, such as in catering situations.
Many businesses want to make ‘free-from’ allergen claims for their products, and precautionary allergen labelling (PAL) may be a consideration to indicate the possible presence of unintentional ingredients that people may be allergic to.
