The Visible Threat: How to Prevent Undeclared Allergens

Discover proper allergen handling practices that will protect your organization from undeclared allergens


 

Undeclared allergens continue to be a leading cause of recalls.  In fact, between July and September of 2015, an astounding 53% of recalls were caused by undeclared allergens.  These hidden threats pose a deadly risk to allergic consumers and threaten a company’s livelihood. Join us as we discuss proper allergen handling practices and share cross contact mitigation strategies to better protect your company.

Key Takeaways:

  • Allergen testing is beneficial because it:
    • Protects your consumers
    • Protects your company and limits your liability by demonstrating due diligence
    • Provides data and insight to conduct a proper risk assessment
  • The most common cause of recalls is mislabeling
  • As a best practice, facilities should use pre-operational visual inspection with a checklist, because if it looks clean, it generally tests clean!
  • It is important to keep allergens top of mind so that employees are continuously aware of the role they play in preventing undeclared allergens
