Allergen risk mapping

Supporting your effective assessment, management and communication of allergen risks

Food businesses face increasing regulatory, consumer and operational pressure to prevent unintended allergen cross-contact, provide accurate allergen information across the supply chain, and avoid recalls, legal exposure and reputational damage.

Despite this, many organisations struggle with fragmented allergen data, inconsistent risk communication, and lack of integrated, risk-based allergen management systems.

We support food businesses in the effective assessment, management and communication of allergen risks through a structured, risk-based approach.

Our key service areas include:

• End-to-end allergen risk mapping –
  • Visual mapping of allergen flows from raw material intake to finished product dispatch.
  • Identification of cross-contact points and risk hotspots.
• Risk-based assessment and control measures –
  • Evaluation of threats, consequences, and barriers.
  • Development of proportionate control strategies (e.g. segregation, scheduling, cleaning validation).
• Communication –
  • Design of internal and external allergen communication procedures and processes.
• Expert advisory support –
  • Guidance from allergen specialists with deep knowledge of food safety systems.
  • Alignment with regulatory standards and industry guidance/best practice.
• Integrated food safety management –
  • Embedding allergen risk mapping into broader food safety and quality systems.
  • Support for audit readiness and continuous improvement.

Our allergen specialists are experts in risk-based thinking in the context of food allergen management. We can help you identify the threats, consequences and barriers to effectively manage food allergen hazards.
