Advisory labels are well-meaning, but their increasing use and the wide range of terminology are confusing and often misleading for consumers,” said FAAN [Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network] CEO and founder ... “Industry, government regulators, and food-allergic consumers must partner to determine the best course of action to ensure that food is free from unintended allergens and to improve advisory label use.”

OBS

The label warnings, known as “advisory labeling,” are intended to inform consumers that the products could unintentionally include an allergen (e.g., peanuts), and include such statements as “may contain [allergen],” “manufactured on shared equipment with [allergen],” and “manufactured in the same facility with [allergen].”

Le guide décrit une démarche qualitative à l'égard de l'évaluation du risque de contamination croisée des allergènes faisant appel à un processus de décision graduel. Cette évaluation des risques achevée, les entreprises pourront alors décider s'il convient d'apposer une étiquette de mise en garde.

Campo(s) temático(s)

  • Inocuidad Alimentaria
CONT

Actualmente se han reconocido a las alergias alimenticias como un tema importante [...] los elaboradores de alimentos [deben] poseer un sistema de recuperación adecuado [...] de cualquier producto que esté contaminado, pero que no lleve una etiqueta de advertencia [de alérgenos más serios]. Es necesario poseer un etiquetado de advertencia al consumidor potencial [por ejemplo] las personas que saben que son alérgicas a la leche sólo leen "caseinato de calcio" en la etiqueta, no sabiendo su relación [con los alérgenos más serios].
