Allergen management
Allergen information on labels is not always accurate, often resulting in food safety alerts and recalls. Allergens are a major cause of food recalls. A root cause analysis shows that most of these allergen recalls were caused by the failure to list the required allergens. In addition, the wrong product being packaged is also a major cause.
In this white paper, we delve into the world of allergens and cross-contamination. The following topics are covered:
- Allergen management over time
- The impact of allergens from products and processes
- Concrete steps for a successful allergen management system
Focus on product and process
Allergens can end up in food in various ways, for example as an ingredient, via a compound ingredient, via an additive (carrier), as a processing aid (lubricants or solvents) and via primary packaging materials. Allergens can also end up in products through unintentional mixing of products and fraud. In this white paper, we therefore describe allergen management from a product and process perspective.
