USDA: etiketteereisen voor meest voorkomende allergenen

The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has published Directive 7230.1, Ongoing Verification of Product Formulation and Labeling Targeting the Eight Most Common (“Big 8″) Food Allergens. This directive instructs agency employees how to verify that inspected establishments are controlling and labeling the eight most common allergens.
The “Big 8” allergens - wheat, crustacean shellfish, eggs, fish, peanuts, milk, tree nuts, and soybeans – account for approximately 90 percent of food allergy reactions. FSIS was prompted to issue the directive because of an increase in the amount of recalls for products produced in FSIS inspected facilities (AAMP Website, 17 maart 2015).
