The FSA launched on 6 December 2021 a consultation on the provision of precautionary allergen labelling and precautionary allergen information in England, Northern Ireland, and Wales.
They are seeking feedback and comment on the issues faced by interested parties, which will assist in considering potential approaches for precautionary allergen labelling for prepacked foods and precautionary allergen information for non-prepacked foods, so that the information is:
- communicated more clearly and consistently, in an understandable and meaningful way to consumers, in terms of the form and content of the information
- based on a proportionate and standardised processes for assessing, managing, and communicating the risk of allergen cross-contamination by food businesses
All responses to the consultation must be submitted by 14 March 2021.
