Allergen labelling of prepacked foods

25 minutes

Allergen labelling within the European Union is currently regulated by the Food Information to Consumers Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 (FIC). The FIC sets requirements for allergen labelling of prepacked foods and allows for the member states to set measures regarding allergen information for non-prepacked food. In this webinar, Dörte Mang (Food Law Adviser) discusses allergen labelling worldwide and how it compares to the EU. The webinar also provides guidance on substances that cause allergic reactions, compliant allergen labelling, national provisions for allergen labelling in non-prepacked food (EU) and potential changes.
