Request a DemoAllergen labelling is essential to consumers and is arguably the most important aspect of a food product’s labelling. Allergenic consumers rely on this product information to determine whether food is safe and suitable for consumption. There have been many incidences over the years, with consumers facing serious injury and death due to incomplete or unclear allergen information. All foods sold in Australia and New Zealand must comply with the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (ANZFSC), which includes all requirements for allergen declarations. On 25th February 2024, all foods entering the marketplace must comply with the ‘Plain English Allergen Labelling’ – ‘PEAL’ – amendments to ANZFSC. The PEAL amendments aim to improve allergen information provision by presenting the prescribed allergens in plain English, creating a consistent and easily understood format across food labels using terminology that makes it easier for consumers to read and understand.
In this webinar, Dr Janine Curll, Regulatory Manager at Ashbury Australia, will specify the new legal requirements and explain best practice to assist food businesses selling food and beverages in Australia/NZ to achieve compliance.
