With reported food allergy cases on the rise worldwide, and the potentially life-threatening consequences of undeclared allergens on product labeling, it’s essential that food businesses thoroughly check every ingredient in their recipes for the presence of surprising allergens. 

To protect consumers, the law requires listing all recognized food allergens on product labeling in accordance with the local allergen legislation governing each world region/country to which the products are supplied.  

If ingredients for recipes are purchased, it is recommended to always carefully read the ingredients list on the suppliers’ specifications to ensure that all allergens are correctly listed based on the ingredients involved. It is always possible that a supplier may have overlooked naming an allergen. Additionally, if an ingredient supplier is changed, be aware that the allergens within the product may also be different.
