Undeclared allergens are a leading cause of food recalls due to mislabeling and cross-contamination.
Allergens are a serious concern for the food processing and retail sectors. To optimize your investment in this Allergen Management workshop, we ask that you bring either a hard or electronic copy of your Allergen Management and Recall Plans. Be prepared to identify your products, list of approved suppliers, co-packers, packaging suppliers, and transporters. Also, have a list of your Allergen Management and Recall Teams.
