ALLERGEN GUIDANCE FOR FOOD BUSINESS
Give allergy sufferers peace of mind
For individuals with food allergies, the stakes are incredibly high when it comes to food safety. Consuming or even coming into contact with a mislabelled or contaminated food product can trigger severe allergic reactions, which may lead to life-threatening situations.
Such reactions can manifest rapidly and include symptoms like difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat, hives, or anaphylaxis, all of which require immediate medical attention. The importance of accurate labelling and careful handling of food products cannot be overstated, as it plays a crucial role in protecting the health and well-being of those with food allergies.

*Ensure that the allergen information on your food product labels is consistent, accurate and verifiable.
*Food production processes comply with the legal regulations regarding food allergens.
