Canada/Australia/UK/USA - Global food recalls and alerts associated with labelling errors and their contributory factors
Canada
Nov 10, 2021
Food recalls and alerts associated with undeclared allergens and other forms of labelling errors are on the rise. Besides undeclared allergens, other mislabelling such as undeclared ingredients, providing wrong shelf-life, wrong or lack of storage instructions also pose significant health consequences to consumers. Hence, by identifying the causes of labelling errors, this would facilitate preventative and mitigating strategies in food supply chain. The aim of this study is twofold. First, the study aims to identify the affected food and drink categories, types of allergen, and other labelling issues and associated labelling errors. Second, it aims to identify the causes or contributory factors of labelling errors.
This study reviews food recall, withdrawals, and alerts of five official food safety websites (Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Food Standards Australia New Zealand, UK Food Standards Agency, US Department of Agriculture Food Safety Inspection Service and US Food and Drug Administration) from 2011 to 2020.
