Allergens
- Training Is a Key Component in Serving Patrons with Food Allergies
-
Training of waitstaff on food allergens is essential, but the entire establishment should maintain an allergen-free kitchen and incorporate a company-wide food safety culture.
- A Look at Top Trends in Food Chemistry
-
There is a wide variety of potentially detrimental compounds and quality issues that must be supported by comprehensive analysis programs for food safety.
- Verification Strategies for the Food Allergen Labeling Law
-
The new law requires food manufacturers to have processes in place that reduce or eliminate accidental cross-contact between non-allergenic foods and known food allergens.
- The Challenge of Regulating Allergens in Food
-
FDA’s evaluation of an ingredient’s status as an allergen includes an assessment of harm to individuals who may ingest the ingredient.
- "Allergy Consciousness" for the Retail Food Indusrty
-
Unlike foodborne infections that strike without warning, folks who have food allergies (or food intolerance) generally know of them and avoid the offending ingredients.
- Adverse Reactions to Allergens: The Importance of Labeling and Cross-contamination Control
-
Understanding and implementing food allergen labeling is essential and following an in-house plant allergen control plan will help to mitigate cross-contamination.
- Selecting a Suitable Food Allergen Detection Method
-
There are several different immunological screening methods available for allergen testing and each has its advantages and disadvantages.
- Microbial Detection – Taking It to the Limits
-
Whichever method is used for sampling and detecting microorganisms, it represents only a fraction of the actual level present in a food product.
- Allergen Validation: Analytical Methods and Scientific Support for a Visually Clean Standard
-
One challenge for the food industry is changeovers from a product containing allergens to a similar product that does not contain allergens.
