Navigating Global Allergen Labelling: Regulatory Updates and Practical Implementation

Allergen labelling on packaged foods & beverages sold at retail remains one of the most challenging areas of global food compliance – a high-risk intersection of consumer protection, scientific nuance and regulatory divergence. As international supply networks expand, even experienced regulatory professionals face complexity when managing allergen labelling across multiple jurisdictions. Food and ingredients considered ‘allergens’ in one market are not declared as such in other countries. Rules on how to declare allergenic ingredients on packaged foods can differ widely between regions – from bolding and typographical rules to precautionary labelling. This webinar will cut through that complexity.

Dr Janine Curll, Regulatory Manager at Ashbury Australia, will draw on real-world examples from the United States, Australia/New Zealand, the European Union, the United Kingdom and China, so participants will gain a clear understanding of current requirements and practical strategies to maintain compliance
