FSA issued food precautionary allergen labelling and allergen threshold requirements
UK
Sep 06, 2024
The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) published the Food Precautionary Allergen Labelling (PAL) and Allergen Threshold Requirements. The main contents are as follows:
- Unintended allergens (allergens which are not a listed ingredient) can be present in prepacked (footnote 1) food products due to cross contamination in the food chain and can pose a risk to people with food hypersensitivities.
- The first line of defence is to reduce this risk as far as possible through good allergen management practices. Food businesses should carry out risk assessments for their products to inform food safety management systems.
