Download Residual protein and potential allergenicity in processed products from allergenic source materials (ESR, June 2010)

The Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code requires labelling of all foods containing ingredients, ingredients of compound ingredients, food additives or components of food additives, or processing aids or components of processing aids from specified allergenic source materials. The regulatory process allows parties to seek an exemption from the mandatory labelling requirements of the standard if it can be demonstrated that the inclusion of material from an allergenic source is not likely to present a risk of allergic reactions in allergic consumers.
