Abstract EN
Although most consumers show no adverse symptoms to food allergens, health consequences for sensitized individuals can be very serious.
As a result, the Codex General Standard for the Labelling of Prepackaged Foods has specified a series of allergenic ingredients/substances requiring mandatory declaration when present in processed prepackaged food products.
Countries adhering to international standards are required to observe this minimum of eight substances, but additional priority allergens are included in the list in some countries.
Enforcement agencies have traditionally focused their effort on surveillance of prepackaged goods, but there is a growing need to apply a bottom-up approach to allergen risk management in food manufacturing starting from primary food processing operations in order to minimize the possibility of allergen contamination in finished products.
The present paper aims to review food production considerations that impact allergen risk management, and it is directed mainly to food manufacturers and policy makers.
Furthermore, a series of food ingredients and the allergenic fractions identified from them, as well as the current methodology used for detection of these allergenic foods, is provided.
