According to the World Allergy Association, it’s estimated that food allergy affects approximately 2-4% of children and adults globally, and the figure is rising.

If you’re a food and beverage manufacturer supplying locally or exporting overseas, it’s vital that your products comply with these countries’ official food allergen labeling laws.

If you don’t, whether it’s intentionally or due to a genuine error, it could cost your business a huge expense if a product recall is required to replace the packaging, and hefty fines can be involved. Far worse, it could cause serious harm or even death for some consumers of your product. It could also damage your business’s reputation if the error is serious enough to attract high-profile negative media publicity.
